Last night just before turning out the light
LORSO: (smooching me) Goodnight!
ME: Ooh, you have minty fresh breath!
LORSO: Why thank you. I brushed my teeth.
ME: It’s especially minty though.
LORSO: Oh, it could be my Carmex you’re smelling. Sorry - I know you don’t love Carmex.
ME: I don’t have a problem with Carmax itself, I just would never choose it over Chapstick.
LORSO: It’s Carmex.
ME: What did I say? Carmax? Oh right, Carmax is that place you buy used cars. Carmex, Carmax, whatever.
(pause)
LORSO: You know, if Carmax were called Carmex, they wouldn’t sell cars, they’d sell Mexicans.
ME: That’s ridiculous. If Carmax sold Mexicans, it would be called Mexmax.

Hah! This is such an honest portrait of marriage. I love these conversations.
Also, I always smile when a post reminds me of your obsession with chapstick. They should hire you as a PR person.
