Btw, do you play any sports? Football equipment and catcher's equipment (if you play baseball) could come in handy during that conversation. If nothing else, maybe a motorcycle helmet?
Also, do you prefer sardines or viennas? Don't forget the crackers and hot sauce. It all comes in small packages that will fit well in a doghouse.
Short story... Years ago, not long after my wife and I were married, she cooked a roast beef. Well, the meat was a good bit on the "tough" side (not her fault, just a bad cut of meat). Well, look at the roast on the serving platter and did the pulling-the-trigger motion with my finger (the one *not* to use in an airport or school) towards the roast. Instant doghouse and an absence of roast beef in our house for YEARS!!!!! Moral of the story, during the era of newlywed bliss think thrice before making any cute jokes about something that might really matter to your better-half. Just sayin'.....
Btw, we laugh and joke about that instance now...almost 30 years later. But, sometimes I wonder if she mentions it just to remind me to be on good behavior.
