Tone? Fox Circling its Prey

       My wife likes to scratch and get rid of things on the skin.  It doesn't limit itself to her.

       Last night she asked me,"What's that little thing on the side of your face?"

       I said, "It's a thing the dermatologist is going to take off at the end of March, don't come near it."

       "I wasn't going to come near it."

       I left the room in a huff, but I spoke through the doorway again, "Then why did you sound so greedy!'
