LOL...I might accidentally drown myself in that bucket of water, and how in the world would the hubby explain that to the police
"Now, officer, I was yakking at my wife, and she could not stand it, and she stuck her head in a bucket of water, and accidentally forgot to come up for air"...the officer would no doubt think I was a dunce, or the hubby killed me...
If he wasnt due to leave for work, I sure would have given him a beer to shut him up...that trick can work only on the weekends...
When we had out three dogs, Helga and Sheeba, never cared a bit if a loud 'discussion' broke out...they just took it with a grain of salt...But our male dog, Bully, a big guy, was scared of everything...even little arguments, made him run and hide and shiver and shake until all was calm again...
