High Decibel Wife

For twenty years of nearly happy married life he heard the harping voice of high decibel wife, and in the process lost half of his hearing sense, the other half now gets tense in wife’s presence. He wouldn’t start any conversation with her ever, for over the years the ears have become clever. They have learnt to save the strained ear drums from the cracking sound of wife’s vocal drums. She once asked him to buy a kilo of tiny potato. He rushed to the shop, bought a bag of ripe tomato. When he found himself flushed in a hot soup bowl the failed ears silently fanned his head to console.
