Lately my wife pokes her tongue out at me and sometimes gives me “the finger”… so I do it back to her sometimes. Like in the Bean movie I give her the finger with both hands. BTW my wife offered to stop doing it if it annoyed me but I thought it was funny. On the other hand I did find her hand pretending to be a spider crawling on me annoying so she’s stopped that.
Thanks for sharing.
When my wife gives me the finger I get her back by “swiping” her when she is at the kitchen sink. :eek: I find it ups the playful rudeness to another level.
I think little private playful things like that are sweet.
We pants each other in the kitchen often. It’s great when someone has their hands full like doing dishes.
Giggling together is romantic!
She’s a keeper.
But what if you want to actually give her the finger? You’ve watered it down! You’ll need to invent new insulting gestures.
I want to encourage Mrs. JohnClay to become a member of this board, as I feel that JohnClay is an unreliable narrator of his domestic situations. That way we can ask her if she really feels the contempt for her husband that he reports she shows.
The thing with private rituals like this is that they’re funny and cute for the two of you, but wince-inducing for anyone who has to read about - or witness - them. We all have them, but most of us let the personal stuff stay personal.
I have a friend with whom I get fake spats where we call each other “bitch”. We’ve taken it to another level by changing that over to calling each other fancy desserts instead. It’s great fun to see the looks we get by saying “You cream cake” and “You profiterole”.
JohnClay, you need to moon her. Maybe at WalMart.
I gave my wife the finger, wink wink, nudge nudge
Yeah, this.
If it works for you and the missus, JohnClay, fill yer boots, but leave me out of it.
Maybe she feels contempt for me… but I just find it funny.
Yeah I used to before we started having intercourse.
Filters, dude, seriously. That kind of talk is disrespectful to her and embarrassing to everybody else.
Hmmmm ok
It’s banter.John was playing along.
I think… 
Actually I don’t say untruthful things on the Internet… but I do joke around with my wife…
Mmmmmm…private jokes lead to those special looks…makes my engine go VROOM…
Once you’re comfortable with this sort of thing between you and your wife, and with close friends, you can move on to colleagues and distant relatives - makes it much more exciting.
