A chapter in the book The Book of Miracles

Mona Lisa mon amour

by Iza Deleanu

My husband calls me Mona Lisa, and this is not because of my enigmatic smile, as I was misled to believe. Initially, I was flattered, me and Mona Lisa, this was the most romantic thing I ever heard from my Romeo.

After marriage, he explained that he called me that way because of my "enigmatic smile" aka pissed off smile. My Romeo confessed that my face was all sunshine, but the subtitles under my smile were screaming in ALL CAPS: "Idiot, how many times I have to explain the same things all over again!"

Apparently, every time I smile, he brings up his defensive shields that are up and running at full blast. Thousands of daggers are probing the resistance of his defense. Every time this happens, he calmly executes an admirable excuse a la francais: ficher le camp! Now I understand why every time my blood pressure goes up, he has something to do with the cat and leaves me to steam in my own concoction. I guess you can add this one to the arsenal of surviving skills from the married life panorama.
