…of Course I Could Be Wrong

In what has become an established pattern my wife recently suggested that something might be (A) and I smiled indulgently and assured her, no, it definitely wasn’t (A) and was pretty clearly (B) and furthermore I forthwith rose from the table and went outside to verify and then did not return for quite some time because I was hoping by the time I came back she’d have forgotten I said it was pretty clearly (B) when sure enough it was resoundingly (A).

In this case (A) and (B) involved differing recollections regarding the plumbing setup for a cattle waterer, but really the variables are irrelevant; it’s the general trend that’s worrisome.
