My wife asked me to pickup a few things at Sam's Club one of which was butter. It come as 4 - 1lb boxes in a package. She asked for one, but I got two because Thanksgiving. I get home, she sees one package and says "I should have had you get two of those." That's when I whipped out the second package of butter.

Spike the football, swing the club, Trump Dance! I got one rignt!

So you're 1 and 3287 on the season.

Statistically speaking you're leading the league.

Revel in the little victories but be humble and nonchalant

Always: Yes Dear.

Go out to the garage and do the "Trump Dance"

LOL !! After 45 years, I still have gotten one right according to my better half .

I’m glad I didn’t read that she asked you to move out!!

Just remember even a dead clock is right twice a day! Congrats.

I'm already laying in twice that much for all my wife's holiday cookie baking.

My similar win came extremely early in my marriage.... just 3 months in, actually.

It was Christmas season I picked up a blouse for her that I knew was exactly her style. Christmas morning she opened it and was giddy, telling me she saw this in the store and REALLY wanted to buy it, but didn't because it was Christmas season and she knew we had to save money.

It was a big win right out the gate...

Still waiting for the second one, 17 years later.

Way to end 2024, on a high note

Little victories, huh, Trap.

Win!

Awesome job. You da the man!

Excellent!

I’m right all the time; my wife just doesn’t know it…

I knew you guys would appreciate my story.

Seriously, how many time are you asked to pick something up and you get it wrong?

Could you pick up some laundry soap?

What kind?

Tide

Sure

Seems simple enough. And then you get to the store and there’s powdered, liquid, pods, with bleach, without bleach, scented, unscented, with fabric softener plus five different sizes of each.

When I was married and the inevitable but I asked you to XXXX, I just countered with, "But I was smart enough to marry you!" Sometimes it actually worked... for a while.

When in doubt, whip it out!

Oh yeah!

Rookie. You forgot HE (High efficiency) vs. Non HE.

Today my wife thanked me for finding a pleasant hiking trail for our Sunday walk. She collected some colorful fall leaves (hey, it’s California). After 55 years, counts as a good day.
