I thought my husband’s jokes were harmless until I realized I was always the punchline. Then, one disastrous evening, his brother decided he’d heard enough.
The second the guest stepped into the room, my husband turned as red as a tomato! I thought you could probably spot him from a satellite map!
That alone almost made the flooded floor worth it.
Almost.
Kevin sat by the table with a dish towel in one hand, staring at his worst nightmare!
My husband turned as red as a tomato!
My husband uttered the guest’s name as he carefully stepped around a wet patch near the sink.
“Evening, Kevin.”
Matt, my brother-in-law (BIL), shut the front door behind him and smiled.
“Perfect timing.”
I looked from Matt to the person who had just entered.
Something was going on.
I just had no idea what.
Kevin clearly didn’t either.
And judging by how red his face had become, he was already afraid to find out.
***
Matt had asked to move in with us three weeks earlier while his house was being renovated.
Of course, my husband and I didn’t mind.
Matt was easy to live with.
He was already afraid to find out.
He was quiet, cleaned up after himself, bought groceries without being asked, and somehow understood that emptying the dishwasher didn’t require a parade.
Kevin, however, reacted to having his younger brother around by becoming a stand-up comedian with two people as his live audience.
Unfortunately, I was the material.
He was quiet.
At first, the jokes were harmless.
If I reminded Kevin that the electric bill was due, he’d look at Matt.
“See what marriage does to you? You constantly owe a ton of money!”
