The other night, my wife and I went out to dinner with friends. At the restaurant, when everyone sat down, I remained standing. “My wife,” I exclaimed loudly, “is rude, mean, and stupid. She needs to change; she needs to become a better person. I am making this announcement because I want her to change to be a better person. I want you to all keep an eye on her and criticize her when she does something wrong. Just like I do.” I then sat down. Needless to say, I slept on the guest bed that night. And many nights after that.
