"What did you wear yesterday?" she asked.

"You had an allergic reaction to the wool," she concluded.

"Wow. OK," I said, recalling how uncomfortable I'd been at the end of the day. "So, that's something new. Are you sure?"

"Did you snore last night?" she asked.

 

"Actually, I did."

"Well, that's that," she said. "You either had a reaction to the sweater, or your husband tried to smother you with a pillow."
