(Not that way, sicko.)

Robbie, like a dog who’s just heard the kibble bag rattle, lifts his head up from behind his laptop screen, tilts his head, and goes, “HEY! Did you hear that?” He then stares at me as if God himself has just reached down from heaven and dropped into our laps the manna that will make our relationship miraculously perfect: no PMS.

I was kind of PMS-y, though, so instead of responding, I just gave him a dirty look and went to the kitchen to forage for chocolate. I guess we’ll never know.
