A Happy New Year to you too.
My wife expressed some concern about my bulk buying of food. When I sat her down and took her through this step by step...her final response was, “Can we just organize it better?”
Dark clouds are over the world.
I know you were being serious but that is one of the funniest posts I've ever read.
It looks like your wife has superb negotiating skills but she knows when to modify her expectations. I bet you've been married a long time.
