My Wife Delights in Seeing Me Stuck Between a Boulder and a Bear Trap.
I think she delights in seeing me squirm
✒️Impossible situations are something my wife is an expert at creating.
Where 😔I am concerned, she has something to say about everything, and loves to micromanaging.
I’m never quite sure if she means it, or this is just a way of prickling me, but she succeeds every time.
Her latest impossible to win situation is over 🚗 parking my car. I’m not claiming I’m a great driver, but with fifty-one years’ experience, I have twice as much as she does. Our driveway accommodates all four of our family vehicles. However, an extra 6 foot would make parking them far easier.
First she started complaining about our son Ethan’s car, which he left parked on the road while he went to 🇯🇵 Japan and the Far East for five weeks. So I gave it a runaround to recharge the battery and parked it safely on the drive.
The dragon lady’s car takes pole position, so to speak, and the best parking place. I have no objection and parked my car right next to her.
“It’s too close!” She complains.
I point out while I am a large man; she is a skinny and slender woman, and if I can easily walk through the space between our cars, and I can, then so can she! She pouts, and her lips come out so far you could hang a kettle on them. I knew this would not be the end of the situation.
She hates me answering back or getting one up on her.
However, the last thing I want to do is get an 😡argument, or God forbid, irritate or annoy her. Then she’ll moan on and on like an air-raid siren with no off switch. So when I re-parked it, and made sure I went an additional meter to the right.
“Now you’ll be too close to Lele!” She complained. I think she was happy to find something she could pick me up on.
“She’s not here!” I replied in a strained tone of voice, which made her smile. Our daughter is away training for a big 🥋judo competition coming up in France shortly.
“Okay, I’ll move it again. Anything for a quiet life!”
It seems she expects me to accurately part between two invisible parking lines.
I’m sure she’ll find something else to moan about shortly.
