Winter. Icey roads. Slipping & sliding. Wife back seat driving from shotgun seat. I said, "Shut the fuck up!"
She did. Noticeable attitude. The cold was not just outdoors.
.
Next year, same conditions. Wife driving. Her mother was back seat driving from shotgun seat.
Wife told her mother the same exact words, "Shut the fuck up!"

Wife told me she now understands. Smiling as she tells it.
