I just observed the following telephone conversation between one of my coworkers and his wife:

Coworker: “Hello honey.”
Wife: “Hi. Did you know that Phil Jackson is coming back to the Lakers?”
Coworker: “Yes, I had already heard that.”
Wife: “Oh… you already knew?”
Coworker: “Yes…”
Wife: “Oh… ummm… well, that’s all I had to say. Bye.”
Coworker: “Bye.”

Phone conversation ends.

Coworker to me: “Sometimes I should pretend not to know these things.”

Indeed. Lesson learned.
