My wife and I have this playful, ongoing battle for dominance in our house. For instance, whenever I act insubordinate, she’ll tell me, “You better watch it. I may be a woman, but I can still take you, little man.”
I have started to reply in a like manner whenever she is acting unruly. I will puff up my chest, throw my shoulders back, look her straight in the eyes, and say, “Well I can take you with both of your arms tied behind your back!”
