As I walked over, to him sitting on the couch. "Babe, you forgot to put your clothes in the dryer again" I said sitting on the couch.

　　"Oh, I`m sorry, honey. I`ll remember next time." Mike said, changing the channel from a cooking show to an action movie.

　　"Well, it would be easier to remember if you put it in your phone."

　　"Yeah, you`re right, I`ll remember to do that in the future."

　　For a moment we sat there in silence and watched the movie. A giant pirate ship sailed through the emptiness of space. The gorilla captain screeched at the other monkeys on the ship. The crew of monkey`s ran around the pirate ship frantically reading themselves for battles as another pirate ship was sailing in their direction. "Babe Its bothering me how much TV you watch. Maybe you can cut back, so you have time for other things."

　　"What are you talking about Kelly? I make enough time for everything."

　　"Really? that`s so strange because it seems you didn`t make enough time to wish me a happy birthday today."

　　Sitting up in his recliner chair, "Oh honey, I`m sorry. Work has just been so crazy lately. Me and my paralegal have been putting in long hours for this new case. So, when I came home early today, I saw my new favorite show was on, so I completely forgot," Mike said.Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

　　"Oh, that`s right you thought about the new episode of Ghost Rabbit Hunters all day your girlfriend`s 35th birthday completely slipped your mind."

　　"Come on, you know it`s not like that." putting the recliner back to its original position, he continued, "Listen babe, this movie is about to get really good, and I have work in the morning, but we will definitely have a date night tomorrow."

　　"Of course, dear. I mean were getting the climax of Space Pirate Monkeys. Who knows what will happen. Maybe the space gorillas will try and steal the treasure form the orangutans."

　　He started to pinch the bridge of his nose, shaking his head. There was another moment of silence between us. It would have been an awkward silence, but the room was filled by monkeys` screams as they fired their laser guns and space pirate ships exploding when they were hit by missiles. "Honey, you know that work has been stressing me out lately, so you have to understand I am going to forget things sometimes&"

　　"That would be nice if it was only sometimes and not every single birthday for the last 6 years or the last 6 anniversaries let`s not forget to mention they`re on the same day! Forgetting sometimes would be wonderful compared to all the Christmas presents I`ve got in March or all the Cinco de Mayo`s I`ve had to celebrate alone."

　　With an eyebrow raised, "Kelly, we don`t even celebrate Cinco de Mayo." Mike said.

　　"Well, it would be nice to celebrate it one of these years." getting up from the couch, I stormed to the front door "I`m leaving to get tacos. I hope you don`t forget about getting dinner tomorrow while you`re watching your space monkey`s!" I yelled as I left the apartment.
