After languishing for several months, literally waiting only for about 3 more inches of kichenering, the Mardi Gras Mobius was finished last night. I wore it downstairs, waited for what seemed like an eternity but was probably more like 14 seconds, and said, "Erhem."
No response beyond a raised eyebrow. Naturally, I said, "Do you notice anything?"
I actually have no idea what he said then, so delighted was I in my new mobius and so excited to talk about it.
"It's a mobius," I said, taking it off to show him. "See! There's no beginning and there's no end."
In the tone of voice one usually reserves for saying "there, there" to a toddler exhausted from a fit, a tone of infinite patience, he said, "I know, honey." He definitely did not mean "I know" as in actual knowledge; it was a tone that may as well have said "Welcome to my life."
He has since taken to calling the mobius my morass.
If it weren't so true, I might kick him.
