All Because

I don’t know why it bothers me, but I hate the saying, “All Because Two People Fell In Love.”  It seems as though every other house I’ve been in lately has a family picture with that saying above it.  Maybe the problem is that they are overstating the obvious.  I think I should place a sign above my family picture at home that says, “All Because She Forgot To Take The Pill.”  Perhaps I should put a sign above the fridge that says, “All Because We Went To The Store” or one above the outside of my front door that says, “All Because I Have A  Job.” 

I’ve found that this saying can come in quite handy, especially when things are out of control at home.  For example, at around midnight two nights ago Wally was violently throwing up and Lunchmeat was going on and on about how hot it was in the house and that we needed to turn on the air conditioning.  This, of course, woke everyone else up in the house.  I rolled over in bed, looked at the wife and said, “All because two people fell in love.”  I think if you use this saying at every opportunity possible, you’ll find that it can be almost as much fun as “that’s what she said.”
