Last night at 11 o'clock, I went in to check on my 4-year-old daughter. I found her playing games on the iPad while my husband – for hoots, let's call him “Alexei” – slumbered peacefully at her side.
I would post pics of this whole sorry episode, but Alexei was pretty scantily clad at the time and I would never dream of violating his privacy in such a public manner. (But I totally would in a private manner, for a token sum deposited to my PayPal account. I might also note in this regard that he has been following the P90X workout regimen assiduously for over a year. You won't be disappointed.)
All in all, I don't think I reacted too harshly. The emergency doctor said the imprint of the iPad should fade in 2 – 4 weeks and the broken capillaries will mend themselves. But, since much of our time together is spent with me helpfully enumerating his many inadequacies, and since I am a firm believer in giving justice where it is due, I thought I would compile a list of some of the things my husband is not a total abject failure at.
