Waiting For the Dust to Settle

Look closely and you can see my wife and I arguing in the top left corner


A major area of strife in our household revolves around cleaning.

I never stop cleaning and my wife never stops asking for things to be cleaner. It's the very essence of perpetual motion.

"Dust is our enemy". This is a quote from my wife. The elimination of every dust particle is a goal my wife has had since she was an infant.

One day I decided to fight back. Mistakes happen in this world like, say, starting WWIII.

"Honey, I was reading my astronomy book last night and you know what it said? It said we live in the Milky Way, a rotating barred spiral galaxy full of stars, gas and dust that is 100,000 light years wide. Did you hear that? DUST. That's a lot of dust, sweetie. Some of it is bound to make its way into our bedroom, don't you think?"

I am hiding in the basement fridge, waiting for the dust to settle.
