“You left the front door unlocked again.”
“I know.”
“I’m just saying, you need to check it when you leave.”
“I said I know.”
They look at you.
“Okay.”
You can hear something in the way they say it.
“What?”
“Nothing.”
“No, what?”
“I was just reminding you.”
“I don’t need you to remind me.”
“Apparently you do.”
There it is.
“Jesus Christ. I forgot once.”
“Twice.”
“Fine. Twice.”
You can feel yourself getting angry now.
“You know, you forget shit all the time. I don’t stand there keeping track of every fucking thing you do wrong.”
They stare at you.
“I asked you to lock the door.”
“I know.”
This time you say it louder.
