Bathroom Mirror

     OK, so I go out of town to film an episode of Midlife Road Trip. I return to learn that my wife “saved” the family $90 by purchasing a $140 mirror that was marked down to $50 - some kind of weird female math that they teach in home economics classes in public schools.

     She proudly hung it in the master bathroom. And though I am $50 poorer, I have to admit that it is a nice looking mirror. The only problem is that in placing the mirror, she failed to consider that I don’t always sit down when using the bathroom. So what I see in the mirror is not only bad for my self-esteem on cold mornings, it’s causing me to want to sit down every time I have to go. All those years of perfecting my aim, wasted.

  2. You crack me up! As a woman I get the sale thing, and the height of the mirror wouldn't have occurred to me either!

  4. Thanks Ethan, that means a lot coming from somebody who spends his day studying Leviticus:)

    Jen, I still don't get the sale thing, and the height thing didn't occur to me either until...well, you know.

  5. Thanks Sher, as we have discussed before, making things come out of people's noses is what makes writing all worthwhile:)
