In The Doghouse! What's New?

Yesterday afternoon my wife took our two daughters early in the afternoon to thier Dentist Appointments.
It is hard getting to thier Dentist at the best of times but there is construction going on & it is a nightmare for traffic so my wife took them on the bus.
When she got home about dinner time she asked me, "Do I look old?"
I thought, "Oh no, are we feeling a little insecure."
"No" I said. She doesn't, she has about three gray hairs in her head.
"
"Why do you ask?" I said. Bad move!
She said someone came and said to her,

"What beautiful Grandchildren you have!!"

I don't know when I started laughing or when I stopped, but suddenly the air temperature plunged about 10 degrees!
There was a distinct chill in the air!
Apparently, women take these comments more seriously than we men!

Was I wrong to laugh?

It was an absurd comment & whoever said it needs to visit thier local optician!
It is a no brainer, she looks young, look at the avatar!

BTW Does anyone have a spare bedroom I could use for a while?

----What got me into trouble!

In retrospect... it appears you should have grabbed a club of some kind and stormed out the door to "take care" of this individual at which time she would have told you that there was not need for that...

In a situation like this it generally requires a large over reaction on your part to move her to "good grief... it's not that big of a deal" mode.

This is too funny!

Now if you have to go out of your way to make it up to her.

Oh how I long for the drama of married life!!!

Yeah, especially as it would make him OLD-ER! Like a GREAT GRANDPA.

Well... we're all wise men when we get the opportunity to make the call after the fact.

How many times did something blow up in our faces (sometimes literally) and we receive this immediate epiphany of ... hmmm... I probably shouldn't have done that.

POOF!!!!!!!!!

Instant wise man.
