hmmmm...I wonder if I can use that on my wife.
Honey! I need to take a break, I'll be home late tonight.
Won't work, if she's anything like my ex (and I pray for you that she isn't). When Clinton ran the last time, I was voting Republican and she wasn't. Of the Clinton/Lewinsky deal, she said "Well, it's none of our business and no big deal."
When I replied "If it's no big deal, would you mind if I went out tonight," she was hard pressed to explain why it didn't matter what the "president" did, but it mattered what I did...hard pressed, but mad...then again, she was always mad.
