Some nights it's better not to talk

Mrs. Mullet, after a rough day at work: "I need a hug."

Chuck: "Hold on."

Mrs. Mullet: "Now."

Chuck: "I'm coming."

Mrs. Mullet: "What's taking so long? Don't you want to be there for me in my fragile emotional state?"

Chuck: "I always want to be there for you in your fragile emotional states."

Mrs. Mullet: "States? Who said anything about multiple states? I didn't say state, plural. I said state. As in one."

Chuck: "One what?"

I think I've had that conversation, but my daughter never has. You know why? Because she's married to a woman.

Just sayin'....

I usually throw something hard at around this point of the conversation. I feel better when I hear the scream....

Chuck needs to learn to hug quietly when requested. I am sorry you had a rough day at work. I hope things are better.

Hugs help. Their conversation not so much.
