I Would Work on My French Accent and Start Taunting People

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.
