Once you have kids, the phrase “syrup fight” is a much less enjoyable way to start a Sunday.

You know what’s awesome? I’ll tell you what’s awesome. A guy buying the cheap carnation bouquet from Costco at 7:30pm on Valentine’s Day night.

You know why it’s awesome? Because it’s not me doing it anymore.

Joanne and I are in the bathroom, getting dressed, and I look up and say, “You know what I’ve had stuck in my head all morning? The ‘WKRP’ theme song. You remember? ‘Baby, if you ever wondered—’”

“Stop!”

“Wondered, whatever became of—”

“Stop it! Shut up!”

And so I shut up, and there’s a pause.

And then she says, “Dammit.”
