Where There's Smoke

I like to think of myself as the cool, levelheaded one in our relationship.  My husband is a panick-er.  An understated one, mind you, but a panick-er nonetheless.  So, it should've been no surprise to me that after calling him with a simple observation a few weeks back, he jumped to ridiculous conclusions.

B: Hello?

Me: Hey.

B: Hey, what's up?

Me: We don't have fire extinguishers.

B: We don't?

Me: No. And we need them.

Perfectly acceptable use for a safety device.

B: What happened?

Me: Nothing, I just discovered we didn't have any.

B: How did you discover that? WHY did you discover that?

Me: I just did. 

B: *laughing* Did you burn down the house?

Nope, definitely not the house.

Me: That'd be crazy, right. *pause* You're not coming home for lunch, are you?

B: Why?

Me: No reason. I was just gonna say, you should wait, like...30, 45 minutes or so. 

B: Brittni.

Me: Matter of fact, let me call you right back. 

B: Brittni.

Me: It's fine. Call ya back, love you!
