Slightly different wording
but amusing enough, nonetheless.

Was out with the other half a couple of days ago and suddenly, out of the blue, he turns to me and says 'Can you answer me something?'

Oo golly, thinks I. We'd been having something of a debate (we don't argue about couple stuff, just foolish petty things like the nature of truth and the limits of radical feminism) and I reckon he either wants to pick at my logic or he's suddenly realised that politically-inclined gobshites aren't his thing. Either way, he sounds pretty serious, so I put down my food and wait for the big Q...

'Why does your mate Lucie wear all that horrible white stuff round her eyes?'

And Shini remembers that not everything is as dramatic as it is in my head.
