Nodules

Let's talk nodules. My lovely wife's family are really big on massages. They love to massage each other and themselves, but mostly they love to receive massages. Now my family, we're normal people who don't really get into our backs being randomly palpitated by a complete amateur's sweaty palms. Anyway, blackwifeo's family are all plagued by these things called "nodules" in their backs. You often hear things like "What a day! my back is full of nodules" or "there, there can't you feel it, that's the nodule that's been bothering me". Blackwifeo will often beg for a "back rub" (she knows not to call it a massage around me, masseurs do massages, reluctant fools do back rubs). And I being a kind soul will usually give in after some bribery. She will then proceed to instruct me on exactly where the "nodules" are to be found. "Can't you feel it?" she will ask, "it's right there". Honestly, in 22 years of marriage I have NEVER felt, let alone removed, one of these wondrous nodules. Yet blackwifeo and her family members discuss them, describe them, and it seems have no trouble removing them from each others aching backs.

It seems us ostrinos are just stronger.
