I feel like a semicolon or colon would be better here than parentheses

Parawhat?
Read this to my husband.
Him: "I never know where the punctuation goes, so I rewrite it so the () are in the middle of the sentence and I don't have to worry about it."
Me: "I do that too!"
Him: (because we've been together almost 30 years) "I don't think we've ever talked about this."
Hot damn (I'm so [so] "guilty" of this); seriously – it's no even (or odd) funny!
There’s always an equivalent way using a more advanced sentence structure. Parentheses are just the lazy way / bad habit.
Example:
- I went to the store this afternoon (I was out of milk) and I ran into an old friend.
- I went to the store this afternoon because I was out of milk. There, I ran into an old friend.
Oh
