Sweet Revenge

Ouch!

What do you do when you have been wronged?  Some people say to turn the other cheek.  That’s what Jesus would do.  Normally I might agree, however when it comes to spousal relations, I say that sometimes its OK to plot your revenge.  Don’t get me wrong, I am not condoning the “Don’t get mad, get even” type of violence one would see in a summer blockbuster complete with guns a blazin’ or months of trace amounts of poison in the soup.  It’s the little things that make revenge so sweet.  

My friend likes to get her revenge by sneaking full fat/full flavor food when her health nut husband makes her angry.  Just the other day, I snacked on “take that” Pringles she had purchased on the way to the boys’ t-ball game.  My sweet revenge is to purchase or simply wear loud print Capri pants when I am mad at my DH.  He hates this fashion statement more than anything.  So you can bet if he has been particularly annoying, I will be shopping at Ann Taylor Loft for some fun and funky pants.  Some would call it passive aggressive behavior, and I guess they would be right.  But does aggression always require action?  I don’t think so.

Everyone has their little secret dig at their spouse: Eating the last cookie even if you hate thin mints, drinking the last pricey beer in the fridge and leaving the girlie Coors Light, “accidentally” putting a red sock in the laundry with his t-shirts.  Sometimes it just feels so good, and nobody really gets hurt.  What do you do?  I’d love to hear it!
