This weekend, with the missus (keep in mind that she was suffering from a stomach bug):
The Missus (having heard Nickelback one too many times): Have you thought of getting [the nine-year-old] into some different bands?
Me (gladly open to any [logical] suggestion): Like who?The Missus (pulling a band name from god-knows-where): I don't know... Oasis?
Me: [???!???]
and
The Missus (stuck watching DVD's with the [also-suffering-from-a-stomach-bug] four-year-old all week): Let me tell you, in Happy Feet, Robin Williams plays about two too many characters.
Me (just happy I haven't had to watch the movie yet): Oh, yeah? How many characters does he play?
The Missus: Uh, two.
Me: [Rimshot FX]
That second one tells me she's ready to go back to work.
