Wives are just too funny...

[njsteve]

Got into an argument with the wife last night. The wife thought I was too mean to one of the kids when I yelled at her when she unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the door and got halfway out of the car before the car stopped in the garage. I was in the carport watching it happen and yelled at her to get back in the car. Of course, the daughter jumps back in the car, starts crying and the wife says I was too harsh on her. (Logic would dictate you yell anything you can at that instant to prevent your kid from getting crushed by a car door hitting the garage wall) Anyway, they both proceed into the house in a moping, crying huff and I get peeved and hop in the truck and leave.

A couple hours pass, and strangely there are no "where are you" phone calls" on the cell phone, which I purposely left on the front seat so it would ring answerless.

I eventually come home and find she didn't even know I had left. She thought I was just out in garage working on the cars, or sitting in front of the computer. When I told where I had been and that she ruined a really good sulking episode, we both had a good laugh.

I guess next time I will have to officially announce my impending angry departure prior to engaging in approved sulking behavior.

...and I know I was right to yell at the time, because at least my daughter is still alive, to be mad at me.

Boy can I relate to that story. There is really nothing worse then throwing a temper tantrum, leaving and then finally giveing up and coming home only to find out you were never even missed. At least you two had a good laugh out of it. Great story!

I usually go to the garage and sit in the Camaro with the car cover on till I think it is safe to go back inside. Unless she really makes me mad then I go out and buy a new motor or car. I actually had a car delivered the day before Mothers day one time without telling her till the truck arrived. It did not go very well.

Steve,

I know your pain all to well. If she stays angry over this,
let's hope it is a long-healthy anger........

Usually when a fight occurs or is brewing she leaves for a walk for an hour or so. Over 31 years of marriage. WHEWWWW!
