My Husband’s Other Woman

John finds joy in the small insignificant items of life like JUNK MAIL! He even bought a catalog enumerating and explaining and describing, in great detail, hundreds of publications and their implied mailing lists. John SUBSCRIBED TO THEM. He sent money and bought junk mail! So every day he’d count the minutes until they came in the mail. Those things are what others threw away without even a quick scan. The throw away all those surprises and their prodigy. If I happened to be outside when the mail comes I distracted John with something like, “Isn’t that your Mother’s letter blowing down the street?” and when he’d twist to look I’d push past him and grab the stack of mail and hold it ransom. The other woman, of course, is the mail carrier.   nancymauerman.com
