Mountains and Molehills

From all outward appearances
  It seemed they were having a lovely evening
  But as soon as they got home
   She started seething

  She accused him of being too friendly with the waitress
   He said "I was just being polite"
     She said he was a liar
   and he said , "Yeah right"

 She said "You're sleeping on the couch"
     He said she was making a mountain out of a molehill
   She slammed the door
     In the morning they'll make up still
 Until he leaves the toilet seat up
      Then they'll start all over again
