Smart Mouth

I find Don sprawled out on the living room loveseat with legs propped up on pillows on one armrest. The TV volume is rocking the entire 3rd floor of the house.  

Kristy: Good Morning. What are you watching?

Don: News.

Kristy: I think the whole neighborhood can hear whatever news is broadcasting. Keep the volume at 25-30. 

I turned the TV volume down from 48 to 25 and Don was not happy with that. 

Kristy: If you need to be closer to a TV to hear better, then go back to your room where we have everything set up for you just the way you like it. It’s also warmer in there. Quit turning up the heat in every other room. The rest of us are not cold enough to keep the thermostat at 80 degrees. 

While pointing to the Pacific Ocean, Don says, “….. and maybe you should go out there”?

Kristy: You mean the golf course? Would love to go golf, but I gotta be here to turn down the TV volume, the thermostat and monitor your smart mouth. Would you like to rephrase your suggestion?

No response. 

Kristy: Nope? I didn’t think so.

Note to Self: He should have used the option to remain silent before suggesting I take a hike to the deep blue sea.
