I have a cold – - – I never get colds – well,  guess I do.

When I announced that I’d rest on the sofa, he smiled that “same old smile of long ago”  – Which sofa?  We have lots of sofas. Checkmate, my man.

We’re eating breakfast, he sneezes. “Bless you.”

A couple minutes later, big sneeze. I ask if he thinks he’s getting a cold.

“The table is making me sneeze.”

“Do you mean the food you’re eating?”

“No, this is making me sneeze.”

He’s tapping the tabletop. Told him I’d cover it – so set 4 placemats where he sits.

No more sneezes – when he goes to nap, I’ll put a table cloth to cover it and then our placemats.

(We’ve had this kitchen table and chair set since January 1974)
