A synopsis of our phone conversation.
Honey, guess what? I just bought a puppy.
You bought it?
Yeah, 3 days ago.
Where did you get it?
Pet shop.
I thought we agreed never to buy a pet from those places.
I know. That's why I didn't tell you earlier. He's so adorable you'll love him.
Where's the dog now?
Cynthia (her secretary) is taking care of him. He's not yet house-trained and you're not home during the day to watch him.
Bring him home. He'll be OK downstair.
OK, we can stop by her place after you pick me up. And honey, promise you won't make a big deal out of it.
Why, what's the big deal?
I paid $6000 for him.
I usually don't stay angry for more than a few minutes, but I'm still hyperventilating.
