Brian invited Dave over to his house for a couple Blue Beaver Beer after work. “I’d love to come over,” Dave said. “I’m kind of in the doghouse at home right now.”
When they got to the front door, Brian went straight up to his wife, gave her a big hug and told her how beautiful she was and how much he had missed her at work. He kissed her and told her how much he loved her.
As they sat in the living room, Dave told Brian that he was surprised that he fussed so much over his wife. Brian said that he’ d started this about six months ago, it had brought their marriage back from the dead and life was good again. Dave thought he should try the same thing. He finished his beer and thanked Brian for the advice.
Dave went straight home. He gave his wife a big hug, kissed her and told her that he loved her. His wife burst into tears. Dave was confused and asked why she was crying. She said, ‘This is the worst day of my life. First, your son Eric fell off his bike and had to get stitches in his forehead . Then, the washing machine broke and flooded the basement. And now, you come home drunk!’
