I have heard some horror stories about how my wife is going to behave in the final trimester. It has best been described as a lose-lose situation. I’ll get yelled at for being home, cursed at for not being home and pretty much anything I say will be wrong and irritating.
I may be jinxing myself but so far I have yet to see that side show its ugly face. She has been terrific. The worst incident I can recall happened a couple of weeks ago. I received a phone call from Tracy at work.
She asked, “Where did we go after the hospital on Saturday morning?”
“We drove down Glades Road to..”
“No. That’s not what I mean. I am missing my folder. Where did we go after the hospital?”
“Well, we drove past the Pediatrician’s office and then by Rag Shops..”
“NO! (louder, this time) That’s not what I am asking!”
“Um, honey. I have no idea how to answer your question.”
“Fine. Forget it.” (click)
All things considered, I think I am getting off extremely easy in the raging hormones category.
