I got a valuable lesson years ago. Wife has always had a green thumb. She sold a bunch of African Violets at a show and made a few hundred bucks. I asked her if she was going to deposit it in OUR checking account. Nope, that was her money!. I lost the argument about paying for all the supplies and the $30 per month electricity cost for the gro-lite stands using money from OUR checking account.Lesson learned:What I earn is OURS, what she earns is HERS. Alas, being a stay at home mom, I have to admit she earned her pay over the years. A housekeeper and nanny would have cost a lot more than she ever spent.

What part of “Neigh” don’t you understand, Andy?

He’s never uttered that line before, he doesn’t know it.

Perhaps the vicar or the marriage councilor can settle this argument, eh Andy?

Flo’s wrong, Andy’s should have half, he bought the ticketfor her. Pool and darts pay good these days.

Back away slowly Andy. Nobody has to get hurt.

I’ve never jumped in the air like that since I got my English Exam result.
Go Flo! Keep the money to yourself.. You won it fair and square.
