A while back, in a sudden moment of ill-thought-out and unfiltered smart-ass behavior, I used the "get in the kitchen and make me a sammich" line on my wife.* (Complete with hand on hip, other arm extended with finger pointing at the kitchen and a steely-eyed stare.) I got a dirty look (with a little "stunned" thrown in for good measure) but that seemed to be the end of it. All things considered, I thought I got off light. What I neglected to take into account is that she doesn't forget; she just bides her time. Today I was preheating a pan for breakfast and reading the paper, which was laying on the kitchen table. I turn away for just a second and the paper is gone. She took it to the living room and was reading it on the couch. The following conversation ensued: Mack: Hey, I was reading that. Mack's Wife: You're not supposed to be reading . . . you're supposed to be cooking me breakfast. (Accompanied by a narrowing of the eyes and a tilt of her head towards the kitchen.) I cooked breakfast and my mancard is in the mail to the DMV.** *Certain forumers have been a bad influence on me. **Department of Manliness Verification. -------------

^^^ Input is obviously from someone who as never been married. (And, in my defense, I refrained from either saluting or saying "yes ma'am."

I completely understand amigo. 'Twas but a joke. (although it would have been funnier if you did salute WHILE saying "yes ma'am.") |

^^^ That probably would have just exacerbated the situation.

^^^ Basic eggs and bacon. Crispy fried bacon first then cooked eggs in some of the grease. Tasty, but probably not good for my cholesterol. -------------

I gotta say, I don't particularly love bacon. Start most days with eggs (scrambled or hard boiled), potatoes or a bagel with peanut butter, and about half the time three sausages. Breakfast is the best meal of the day. ------------- BU Engineering 2012 |

It should have gone like this: Mack: Hey, I was reading that.
Mack's Wife: You're not supposed to be reading . . . you're supposed to be cooking me breakfast. (Accompanied by a narrowing of the eyes and a tilt of her head towards the kitchen.) Mack: Well, you're not supposed to be on the couch . . . you're supposed to be in the bedroom waiting for me. -------------

^^^ I'm old . . . do you really want me to post anything that brings mental images of me engaged in certain activities to the collective minds of the forum?
