What was it about the curtain that brought out such an outburst from his wife? What was so wrong that it ended with her locking herself in the bedroom for several hours? So he spilled some oil on the stupid thing, it was a mistake, and it was, after-all, just an ordinary, WalMart curtain.
It was the same with the living room rug. It was just a cheap thing, less than twenty bucks, and yet, when he used it to sit spare car parts on, she had a conniption.
He usually attributed it to "that time of month," her bitchy, testy attitude, like her unprovoked attack on him for using her rolling pin as a hammer. It was just a few dents, it still worked.
Then there was the couch, with the beer stain, she had a fit over that!
And tomorrow it would be something else. It seemed "that time of month," was all month these days. Hoping to avoid more of his wife's wrath, he walked out toward the garage to work on the lawn mower. Along the way his eye caught a neatly folded bath towel, just what he'd need to clean the blade before sharpening.

A curtain that allows for selective vision...
which leads to selective brain
and untimately to pain.
You are certainly getting a "feel" for curtains.
And for what lurks behind!

What a jerk!
Men have really no clue and blame all to 'that time of month', they can't even spell the correct word.
I don't know if I laugh or get mad here.
I go for laughing, isn't about anything that has ever happened to me anyway.
This is funny, and could easily turn into a bloody humour.

See, I can spell it!
If you didn't know whether to kick his butt or laugh then the story read as I intended.

I'm sorry, I have so many entries in your contst I can't keep the accounts straight and I forget to applaud. Remedies in process.

And of course there's a curtain in front of a clueless person's sense.
