Forgiven

The other day Kadin checked one of our bank accounts and discovered that it was lighter than it should be. He asked me about one particularly large and recent debit--a Christmas present for Sabine. At first I didn't know what he was talking about. Then I checked my spending files and figured out that I had accidentally spent from the wrong account, upsetting our financial well being.

It's nothing that can't be remedied, but my mistake definitely caused some chaos, juggling and anxiety.

I felt so terrible about my carelessness that I offered to give Kadin money to put back into the account. A little irritated, he pointed out that all of the money comes from the same place--him--so that if I give him money, it's the same thing as him giving himself money.

I realized the stupidity of my suggestion before I suggested it but felt bad for being careless. I didn't know what else to say. But then I thought some more and came up with something else, something better than money: "I'll have sex with you two nights in  a row," I said.

Um, let's just say he's not mad anymore. If only everything in life was this easy.
