The Wife and I are currently on vacation. There will be a fuller accounting of our travels when we return, but this was kind of amusing.

The Wife and I are getting ready, and she comments her bruise hurts.

Me: Where did you get the bruise?

The Wife: Falling off the wagon.

Derek’s Mind: Wait, she doesn’t have addiction issues. Could she be talking about food? But how would she have gotten a bruise from food?

The Wife (seeing my confusion): When I fell off the feed wagon feeding the horses?

Me: Oh yeah. I’ve just never heard that phrase used literally before.
