Our Thai basil was looking exceptionally wilted, so I ran over to
water it.
Austin: Make sure you water the sweet basil too.
Me: They’re right next to each other. Of course I’m going to water them both.
Austin: I’m just saying. You surprise me constantly. Even after twelve years, you always surprise me.
Me: What have I done lately that’s surprised you?
No answer. We finished putting away groceries.
Me, sometime later: You never said what I’ve done to surprise you lately.
Austin: Well, I woke up alive this morning. That’s always a shock.
