You dry that up!
I would think that by now you'd recognize your wife's feminine wiles before you got snookered.
Mine bought this Brittany pup, even though I had suggested a long, long vacation from caring for a dog. She's been whining about it ever since after the pup has hauled her out of bed at 06:00 every morning.
I awoke rather sick this morning and I quickly grew tired of listening to the constant drone. I told her; "Just stop it! You asked for it, now live with it and quit complaining!" Her late husband was always dumb enough to deny her a new dog and she'd spite him and get one anyway. I guess she misconstrued my suggestion as an order of denial. I knew the whole deal that would come from raising another dog up from a pup and she conveniently chose to ignore it until the work involved started wearing her down. Sorry my love. I'm not picking up your slack on this one.
Women! Can't live with them and can't kill them.
