My wife just said “I need to tell you something karate, but let me grab my drink first”. (“Karate” is our short hand for something so embarrassing that it will cause a full body cringe, as did the scene from the original Karate Kid when the station wagon dies in front of the rich parents when his mom is driving him on his date). Before she returned though, a mom and her daughter knocked on the door and now the girls are all dressing and preparing to leave for some cotillion nonsense. Meanwhile, I’m dangling in horrified anticipation, knowing I’m going to be embarrassed by *something* but totally unaware of what it is. I think I’d rather be waterboarded.
