Suffering

Andrew just walked out from the bathroom and hit me on the back of the head.

"What?!" Things have been my fault all morning--for saying "You might want to get dressed before you go to work" I was prejudiced against naked people, I was a bigot ... no, a smallot, because I'm tiny, and he was determined to end smallotry in all its forms--but the past few minutes, with me on the couch and him in the bathroom, had seemed reasonably peaceful. I couldn't imagine what I'd done to deserve such abuse. That's why I had to ask "What?"

"I've got 'You're My Favorite Waste of Time' stuck in my head, and I thought if I have to suffer everyone else does too!" he said.

"Oh." It was hard to argue. Not because he was right, but because I didn't know what he was talking about. I figured he'd explain, and he did, in his I've-only-had-one-coffee sort of way.

It ended with "I thought because you're American and never had to listen to Owen Paul is no reason for you not to share my pain."

I loved that song! Now I have an earworm too - I wish I owned it so at least I could get past the chorus...

If he stays obtuse start putting salt in his tea. I think there's an argument that it will wake him right up.

Tea? TEA?! How dare you accuse me of tannin-bibbing? As if I would ever be reduced, humbled, destroyed enough - that I could ever sink so far into depravity that I would ever let Satan's own vile urine enter my body! I am a coffee-drinker, woman, and would no more drink the accursed* beverage than I would fellate a syphillitic orang-outan. And we coffee-drinkers are made of sterner stuff - we would not balk at mere salt. If one makes one's coffee strong enough any additive is unnoticeable, and to correctly drink coffee as potent as I make it one would not allow it to touch the taste-buds at all.

* to be pronounced with an accent over the e.

Well, she was asking for it. TEA! I ask you!

The cup that cheers...

You know you're technically still a virgin until you've had a cup of Lapsang Souchong? I'm pretty sure I read that in a book or saw it in a fever dream.

This should be the opening line of your autobiography, which should be titled "The Nutter That Didn't Like Tea".
