A few hours later Housie comes home. She has learned to yell a greeting when she opens a door in the middle of the night. I asked her several times to no avail - finally I let off a few .45 rounds. Now she does.
"I lost five pounds."
I have no idea what she is talking about. I wonder how she could possibly know. I start devising analogies...a grain of sand blew off the Sahara desert. A drop of water evaporated from the North Atlantic......
"We weighed in at Weight-Watchers" she says as she puts the bag of McDonalds double cheeseburgers on the counter.
"Ummm...McDonalds?"
"We all go there after weight-watchers."
"Do you hear that whistle?"
"What whistle?"
"The train whistle. That's the Clue Train and it's coming for you."
"What are you talking about?" She has that look.
"Weight watchers isn't going to do it. Have you considered Hogwarts? They have magicians."
I'm talking to the wall again. I grab a cheeseburger.
