This morning my wife mentioned that she was going out to Target.

“Did I want anything”, she asked. “What do they sell at Target?”, I wondered aloud.

“Well,” she said, “would you like detergent?”

“What?”, I responded in confusion, “Detergent?”

“Yes”, she said, “Would you like some laundry detergent for your clothes?”

“You know,” I said, “In almost 30 years of marriage, I can honestly say you have never asked me that question before. I have no idea as to if or what detergent I would need. I have never figured out which kind works with what kind of clothes or in what circumstances. I just take the container closest to the washing machine and hope that is the one that would work best.”Philosophy of Life
