Upon coming home, the wife informs me that the IRS had something to say to me. For the past two tax returns, there were petty typos and I had to file amendments (I hate when that happens). This year, I was very careful, but the IRS determined that I couldn't subtract the taxes owed from the taxes paid correctly and I was awarded two more dollars than I was expecting.
Then, the wife states that she can't find her cell phone charger (the cell phone is a good 5-6 years old and is only used as a hurricane/emergency phone). If she doesn't make a call each month, the monthly charges are $5 instead of $0.15 (it's a really good plan for emergencies and is obsolete which is one reason why I haven't upgraded the phone). Anyway, I look in the kitchen drawer where she stores it and she said it isn't in there, she looked. There are two chargers in baggies: one for her Kindle and another with "TV" in marksalot on the baggie. She asks if I have one that will work, and I say I don't think so, but I'll check. Damn...it was 4 phones ago that I might have had a charger. Sure enough, I can't find mine. I tell her she's going to have to go online and find a charger. I then open the drawer again and check the two chargers. She says the one labeled TV is for the emergency TV that I bought her a few years ago, but that is battery operated...it doesn't need a charger. Huh? I open the baggie and attempt to fit the charger into her cell phone. While I'm doing that, she says she already tried and it doesn't fit. Well...what do you know...it does fit, It's even made by the manufacturer of the cell phone. So...guess what? It was the damn charger.
I think we deserve each other...don't you think?
