MEDICINE HAT, AB – In between scrolling through Netflix and checking texts on his phone local man Garry Wood, 32, has casually uttered the seemingly random sequence of words that his wife, Sharon, will bring up in every heated argument for the next 50 years.
“Oh yeah, I guess that could be construed negatively,” said Wood when reminded of what he had said by this reporter. “But I don’t think she will hold it against me. I mean, she didn’t even respond when I said that to her, she just kind of sat there in silence for a long time.”
“Maybe she didn’t hear me,” he added in reference to the words that he will one day have to beg his wife to “let it go for god sakes” because “that was twenty years ago now!”
When asked for comment Sharon pursed her lips, rolled her eyes and walked upstairs. However, the comment made partially in jest had already been stored, sans context, for use next summer as a perfect rebuttal to her husband’s detailed argument about why her over-spending was damaging their relationship.
At press time Wood was desperately trying to remember the far worse thing Sharon had said to him just yesterday, but it was already gone.
