Hey, my Friend! I have one of those German wives too and she is a red-head to boot. She is the sweetest woman I have ever met in my life, but you don't want to see her mad. IT'S NOT PRETTY!
However, in my family, I still wear the pants! IT'S JUST THAT KAREN TELLS ME WHICHPAIR TO WEAR! ("No, not those stupid!")
We have one very simple guideline to live by around here: IF MOMMA AIN'T HAPPY, AIN'T NOBODY HAPPY.
It works for us. And long ago, I learned those two magic words that makes every marriage successful: "YES, DEAR!"
ALWAYS WATCH OUT FOR HER RIGHT HAND! ITS THE ONE THAT WILL GET YOU!
