My Husband, Marvin the Paranoid Android
For example, tonight’s exchange:
Me: “We’ve come so far. In 1965 [watching an episode of Donna Reed about her rebelling against being “just a housewife”], it was assumed women would get married and be housewives rather than anthropologists etc.”
Hubby: “Yes, but now men’s wages don’t go as far, so women have to work. But then, I’m just negative.”
Me: “The sky is blue!”
Hubby: “It’s dark when I get out of work, so that’s all I see. And it will be that way for the next six months!”
Me: “Six months? We’re almost to the solstice! The sun will start coming up sooner and going down later.”
Hubby: “Already? So I’ll get old and die very soon!”
