  •  4 Sisters (4.00 / 21)

    Yesterday was probably one of the most difficult and challenging days of my life.  We are battling marriage issues, and my dad is losing a bit more force every day.  Not to mention, my mom threatens to go down the health tubes due to the stress.

    Anyway, in the midst of yesterday's stress, my sisters were on the phone telling me stories about their lowbrow behavior with their husbands to retaliate for marital annoyance.  They had me in stitches laughing.  I can not tell you how appreciative I was for my sisters lending me the energy of laughter and general esprit de famille at such a lowpoint.

    •  Oh, do tell.... (4.00 / 12)

      I could use a really good laugh.

      I'm in full mid-winter funk mode here.  I hate the weather, my job, my food, my clothes, my government....oh, wait, that one is legit....

      •  My favorite one... (none / 1)

        was my 51 y.o. sister telling me that she was so p.o.'d at her husband that she "dead-bolted him into the basement."  I think she unlocked it before he realized it, but it started a thread of stories of locking out your husband in a fit of anger.  Guilty.

        Then, my 48 y.o. sister tells how her husband was leaving for his regular overseas travel and a bad argument started as his cab waited for him outside.  He went out the front wood door and slammed.  She ran and called out snarkily 'we don't slam doors in this house!'  and locks the door.  Of course he forgot something in the house and had to endure the cab driver's witnessing him finding out his wife had locked him out.
