What Is Wrong

What's wrong?
The wife says: The same old thing.
The wife means: Nothing.
What's wrong?
The wife says: Nothing.
The wife means: Everything.
What's wrong?
The wife says: Nothing's at all wrong.
The wife means: It's just that you're a moron.
What's wrong?
The wife says: I don't want to talk about it really.
The wife means: I'm still building up steam.
