To tell the truth

"The medication that I just gave you will help you relax but it's truth serum so be careful what you say," noted the anesthesiologist with a grin. "I'll be back in a few minutes when it takes effect."

My wife was with me in the pre-op room.

The medication was most certainly starting to take effect.

“I want you to know that I have never been unfaithful to you."

"Thanks for letting me know, “ my wife replied, “I was was really worried about that!" 

After the surgery and back up in my room I remembered the conversation. I laughed when rehashing the details with my wife.

"Is that all you remember?" she asked.

"Yes, was there more?"

"Before you went off to sleep you also told me that you didn't think our marriage could last if your mother moved in with us and that you sometimes pretend not to hear Dwight (our toy poodle) ringing the bell (yes...he’s trained to ring a bell on the back door with his nose whenever he wants to go outside)."

We both laughed.

I'm glad it wasn't any worse than that!
