During the long-distance portion of our relationship, The Wife and I flew several times between Frankfurt, Germany and Portland, Oregon in order to see one another. My wife has flown into every international airport in America, so she’s quite the travel veteran, but there’s no getting around the fact that the distance between Frankfurt and an airport like Washington Dulles is over 4000 miles — or approximately 9 hours of flight time — and that is a very long wait when you don’t like going poo poo on airplanes. So, during one such trip, as my wife was trying to make her connecting flight in D.C., she sent me the following text message:
THE WIFE: “I need to use the bathroom. I will first go through security and then I will lay my egg.”

Oh God, My Wife Is German. 
The thing is not only that it is hilarious … I am familiar with the way your wife describes most things. It makes me almost make me feel like home when I read: “And this is what the WIFE has to say. I just love it.
I haven’t heard this one in a long time.
And those long flights really suck :)
