And this is not the first time nor am I the only husband. What happens to our skill to logically progress an argument with the wife in tight family corners?
I'm an eloquent man, most of the times. When questioned or in need of an explanation I put forth my thoughts quite clearly that the listener doesn't need a rephrasing or a repetition of my response. But with the missus I'm another man. Today morning at 5 there was a barrage of accusations that I don't wake up enough times to put my child to sleep. God knows how many tons of hours of sleep I've sacrificed; alas, there's isn't a god. And today morning as usual I was stuttering, marshaling my argument skills with no effect while the lady shot point by point, instance by instance, quoting date and time leaving me wanting a glass of water. Had it been another person in a different setting, I'd have shot back too, but this time I was merely repeating the same thing again and again which she incorrectly discredited.

oh! how i miss hearing the 'missus' account of it in person!!!! nothing surprising about ur not being able to 'logically' progress for the simple reason that there wouldn't have been a logic:-) how i like it!!!
Vidya,
In most of the fights emotion trumps logic. And I still fret about logic... Hope you & Vasu are doing good :-)
