Perfect day for a BBQ so we did. I being of the cave clan am in charge of buring raw meat in a fire when its called for. I getter going, grab a brew and a lawn chair and "watched" the grill, with the cover on. Wife comes out and asks if I can do "blah blah" and I say "Nope, watching the grill".

She says ok and goes back in the house, I smile to myself and get back to my watching duties. Life is good. A couple minutes later I hear her behind me saying, "I'm taking over the grill, your fired" and I get hit full on with the water hose from behind. She had come out and around from the other door.

I ended up DRENCHED, half on the ground and I finally surrendered. I sort of had to, she now had my chair and the brews. She sat down and said, "I got this, the dishwasher needs to be unloaded and then reloaded" as she sat waving the garden hose in my direction with a smile that was pure evil. I um, I let her think she got the best of me. Yeah, that's how it was. I just let her think it. ;)






And yes, I took care of the dishwasher.

HaHaHa!! You obviously know which side of the bread to butter! Just don't tell her she did it wrong if you want a cold brew.:eek:

If you're lucky she burned the raw meat too much. Then you have the argument that only a "real" man can watch a grill. BTW - how many brews did you get for the lady. You know that you can't leave for beer when you're watching the grill. Too big a gamble. :p

Great story Bubba. Loved it. You sound like a pretty happy guy too ... especially when you let her think she won ;)

That is definitely the best part ... Them thinking that retaliation is coming soon, and watching them walk in fear all the while you are just enjoying them being so on edge. Kill her with kindness till she feels bad and she will never take the grill responsibilities from you again! Or at least that is the theory! LOL!

This is funny. The wife and I pick on each other all the time. My favorite part is after she does something to me. The anticipation of my sweet revenge is enough to keep her on edge for days. Am I sick in the head for enjoying her paranoia? :D

Yep, the "Watchin the grill" excuse never worked for me either.

I took care of the dish washer, too. I got her a glass of wine when she was done.

Works for me everytime.....helps that my wife knows so little about cooking or grilling. I always tell her that a flare up could happen at any minute and we can't let that happen!

I don't have to worry about gloves as my knuckles are covered with hair. One would think all that dragging would have some semblance of a depilitory effect, but alas........ And to think, were it not for all that hair I could have been a hand model. I coulda been a contenda!
