My wife has banned me from going grocery shopping with her. When she gets excited and tells me something like, “Look! These frozen beans are buy one, get one free!” I exclaim loud enough for everybody in the frozen food aisle to hear, “Wow! What a deal!” Last time I ran up to her with a loaf of bread and said, “Look! I got this 12-grain loaf for the same price as an 8-grain loaf! Do I know how to shop, or not?” Couple of old women nearby thought it was pretty funny. In the checkout line I told the bagger, “ Hand me those cat treats. I wanna eat ‘em on the way home.” Stuff like that. She said I don’t know how to act.
