I was talking to Sharon* while driving to Costco today, pricing hearing aids. (F%$# I'm old)
She mentioned that she had an ear-worm, the Malvina Reynolds/Seeger song Little Boxes.
I mentioned Levittown, and said that it was still better than McMansion Hell, where you have futuristic houses joined to Medieval turrets.
Sharon noted that she liked houses with turrets, and I said, "F%$# that, I want a real castle."
When she asked me what I would do if I owned a real castle, I replied with, "I would work on my French accent and start taunting people."
Seriously, what would you do if you had a castle.
I thought that my bon mot should be preserved for posterity.
*Love of my life, light of the cosmos, she who must be obeyed, my wife.
