That's too funny and just like a man! And you're right, you just have to laugh.
My DH was getting on me about something several years ago and my mother told him to lay off that it was just mood swings due to menopause. He did and after a day or two the moods left. The following month the same thing happened and when I said, "Just ignore me, it's menopause." He said, "MENOPAUSE!!! I thought you got over that last month." I looked him in the eye and very seriously said, "That statement is considered justifiable homicide in all 50 states and several foreign countries---you get away from me and do it right now!"
I'm so happy I'm over that--wasn't sure he or I either one would survive it.
