A Note on Modern Marriage

So I was doing something goofy on Friday night (don’t ask; it involved some clowning around with a Swiffer), and my wife was rolling her eyes and chuckle-snorting to herself. And then she came out with the following: “I could Tweet this, but I won’t.”

That’s right, people: I was (deservedly) threatened with tweet-shame. It worked, too.

Can you imagine what technologies our kid, a dozen years from now, will be deploying this way? Yikes.
