Trash Talk

Hauling the garbage and recycling bins to the curb, I recalled a conversation between me and Doug.

“How could you forget to take out the trash AGAIN?” I asked.

“How was I supposed to know there was pickup on Columbus Day?” he shrugged.

“Because there’s a schedule right on the refrigerator? And if you still—you know what? Forget it. From now on, I TAKE OUT THE TRASH!”

Is anyone else under the impression I’ve been had?
