i walk into the family room around 10:00pm-ish to find my husband awake but expressionless slouched in a chair staring blankly at the tv.

me: “whatcha watching?” i ask, glancing over.

what is flickering from the plasma is the feel good, formula movie.”Take the Lead. this is the version with the teacher employing ballroom dancing as a means to reach the seemingly unreachable kids of an inner-city high school.

i look at my husband. i am concerned. i wonder if he has become delirious with fever in the last twenty minutes. clearly, something is amiss.

me: you’re watching a movie about ballroom dancing?

him: yeah. i’ll watch anything with antonio banderis. he’s so hot.

me:(nodding) uh-huh i’d totally do him.

him: same with angelina jolie flicks.

me: duh. and i’d do her, too.

true story.
