He: “I like your shoes. Those are really great.”
Me: “Thanks! Ask me how much I paid for them. Seriously.”
He2: “Don’t do that! God, since you’ve been married you’re so into the shoes, the clothes, the styles…”
Me: “Hey, leave him alone. He dresses much better now. I, for one, appreciate all his wife has done to bring him along…now ask me how much I paid for these shoes. You’ll never guess.”
He: “How much?”
Me: “Eighteen dollars. They were a total steal.”
He: “Really? Where’d you get them?”
He2: “Stop that! Next you’ll be asking her where she got the scarf!”
He: “But I like her scarves. She always does a nice job with the scarves.”
He2: “Arggggggggggh!”
Me: “If you keep that up, you’re not getting invited to go shopping.”
