How to impress your wife

1. When your wife calls on the phone, distraught with the crazy day she's had, tell her you'll gladly take care of the children while she asks to go grocery shopping by herself.

2. Be a trooper when she drops the five hooligans off at your workplace, waves goodbye, and speeds away for a few hours of quiet and calm.

3. Call her in concern when 9pm rolls around and she's still not home.

4. Don't be annoyed when the only reason she's still not home at 9pm is she wanted more quiet time.

5. While she's away, gather a lovely gift together for her when she returns home.

6. Put the lovely gift on the kitchen window sill where you know she'll see it often throughout the day--just to remind her of you.

7. Make sure to give her another gift soon that she'll appreciate more. Actually, never mind. Giving her some time alone to regain her sanity was enough.
