Will and I were watching The Real Housewives of New Jersey Reunion show tonight. Or I was watching, Will was muttering how they were all terrible people, except that nice Danielle who everyone always gangs up on. However, the true target of his hate? Caroline Manzo.
The way she talks, she annoys me, he said. As he tweeted:
(Clearly he is wrong. Caroline is the best of them all. TEAM CAROLINE!)
The show drew to a close and I handed him the clicker.
Hey, I asked, about that email you sent? The one where you said you had to fly to ___ for work? You never go to ___ for work.
Oh, my intern is giving a presentation about her job this summer, he responded, so I thought it would be a good idea if I went along.
So let me get this straight. You're flying to ___ with a young woman? For "work."
When you say it like that, he said, drawing out his words, choosing them carefully, you make it sound like, you make it sound like...sound like...oh, just don't say it that way. It's work!
Fine. I leaned over and smiled. But just because you say it slowly doesn't make it true.
