As the ball drops

Your New Year’s Eve looking a bit blah? Here’s the excitement you’ve been longing for: Make New Year’s resolutions—for each other. Ladies, take this opportunity to get a head start on your husband. Grab a crayon and some of those construction paper scraps off the floor and start your list.

Instant Fireworks! Wow! Zow! Bang! Yow!

After all, don’t you know your husband better than he knows himself? Sure, he’s a great provider, a real looker, and involved with the kids, but who knows better than you how he needs to be nagged about all those really important character issues, like the socks that never seem to make it into the hamper?

For best results, be sure to ambush, er, greet him at the door with your list of ill-considered demands, er, helpful suggestions.

Happy New Year to all, and to all a good night!

I think men are hard-wired to like chicks and leave socks on the floor. They just can't help it.

I'm sure his list for me would be things like: stop working so hard, stop sacrificing so much, take time for you, etc. My selflessness must be very hard to live with.

Suggestions for your husbands:
Buy more guns...for your wife.
...and yourself.
...and your kids.

Here's my Be It resolved: The Husband will stop with all the nice so as to make The Wife look less like A Jerk. :D

Hey Anon: lose the nose/mustache and you look a lot like someone I know . . .

Hey, Gauntlets, are you sure that wasn't Mr Moore sneaking on here to comment?

probably not, but that's a pretty popular sentiment 'round these parts. :)

Here I was thinking it was my husband...and I thought I was the only one with a husband with a sudden urge to hoard guns...
