My husband are using the Bulldog Bristow School of Anger Management technique these days (Bulldog of TV show “Frasier” fame):
Husband: “where’s the bottled garlic I bought? did you throw it out?”
Me: “I don’t know, I didn’t throw it out”
Husband: “THIS TOTALLY SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!” (the bulldog touch, helps if you yell it loudly)
Husband: [two seconds later] “oh, there it is” (usually at eye level, that’s where he puts everything)
Doing this keeps a bit of humour at hand, plus it lets us vent our frustration in a non-threatening way. We both get a chuckle out of it!
