Lovely and talented wife: Where are our calling cards?
Me: In the envelope drawer.
Wife: Dare I ask why they are in the envelope drawer?
Me: I took "envelopes" to mean "mail stuff."
Wife: Calling cards aren't mail stuff.
Me: Well, they have our address on them so people can use them to send us mail, so they're "mail stuff."
Wife: Ok. Why is the checkbook in here?
Me: Bills. Which go in the mail.
Wife: Sticky notes?
Me: To remind me to pay the bills.
Wife: Now you're just making stuff up.
Me: No, honestly. That drawer is my mailing center. If you need to put anything in the mail, that drawer is your answer.
Wife: I still don't think the checkbook or sticky notes belong in there.
Me: How about I relabel it?
