On Marriage: Rooting & Reaching

by Meg Keene

Have I mentioned we’re now on our ‘married budget’? We are. Thusly:

David: Maybe we can get a new vacuum cleaner.
Me: (without looking up from my reading) Do you want to get a vacuum cleaner or do you want to go to India?
(Pause)
David: Maybe we can get a *used* vacuum cleaner.
