I was out walking with my dog, hurrying as the weather became more ominous and blustery. We aim to be home before the rain!
Oncoming pedestrian: (indicating overcast skies) "You'd better head home!"
Me: "Yeah, we're more than halfway there on this walk!"
Him: (pointing to my dog, me, and the block behind us) "No, you're not. You're Jack's wife."
Me: "Nope."
Him: (beat)
Me: "Have a good evening!"
This post's theme word is "pettifog" (v. tr.), "to quibble over trivial matters." I have no idea who Jack is, but let's not pettifog about his marital status.
