When agreeing with your wife, "Yes, Dear" or, "No, Dear".
"I'm sorry."
"Have some wine."
Or an unintelligible grunt.
Hey Joe, don’t ever call me “dear”!
LOL, I was very mad at my husband today and was going to tell him so when I got home but he had already done what I wanted him to do. Yea, I know, it took six months for him to do it but he just seems to know without me saying a word that my patience has come to an end.
Now if he’ll install the faucet I bought the day after the Super Bowl....
Decades ago I invented a small box with a single button that said “Yes, Dear” whenever the button was pressed. This product was aimed at the “husband” market, and it was advertised as the perfect solution to proving that you REALLY WERE listening, as well as always giving the correct answer with no possibly of making a mistake. I called it the “Yes Dear Box”.
You left off, ‘Have some more wine’...
