I was just outside spreading some wood chips along the sidewalk, and John was trying to help. He wasn't succedding in helping and we were both annoyed with each other. I was annoyed that he wasn't able to follow simple instructions (kick the chips that fell on the sidewalk into the flower bed) and he was annoyed that I wasn't making any sense. In this moment of frustration John asked me "Where's Susan?" Of course I answered that I was right here, but his question shook me to the core.
