My Caine Mutiny

I will try and tell this as straight and unaltered as I can. As you know, my W is trying to be MegaMom....which my kids deserve. She signed my son up for Cub Scouts and was supposed to be a den mom. She asked me to take him on Tuesday night....who knows why...OM? school? I brought him and I hit it off with many of the parents there and the woman SHE arranged things with asked ME to be an asst. Cub Scout leader. Be that as it may, I brought home all the info, etc, including the fund raiser (large tins of popcorn cans).

The next day, I drove off to work and decided to put one of the order forms on the fridge in the OR Lounge, common practice for the nurses and staff what with Girl Scout cookies, etc. People began signing up.

Wednesday night, I have the kids since XXX works. I am in the garage putting out the garbage. XXX comes to the door.

W: Where's the popcorn sheet?
Me: Huh?
W: Where's the popcorn sheet?
Me: You mean the fundraiser? I put it up in the hospital to raise funds for S8.
W: Bring it home.
Me: What?
W: Bring it home tomorrow.
Me: What are you talking about? It's filling up at work. I'll bring it home next week if you want.
W: Where is it in the hospital?

((????????????????????????????????)))

Me: Whoa....that's none of your concern. Get your own popcorn sheet. You know the den mother...YOU ARRANGED THIS.
W: I'm calling my attorney to tell him you are witholding information on our kids.

((????????????????????????????????????))

Fifteen minutes later. I went out to my car....got the copies of all the info..INCLUDING an extra POPCORN SHEET...which I had brought home for her out of respect.

Next morning, as I was getting into the shower, my W tried to start a conversation with me about this.

Me: XXX....I can't talk about this since everytime I tried to have a civilized conversation with you, nothing but anger comes out.
W: Well...all I wanted was the sheet.
Me: NO...YOU THREATENED ME WITH CALLING YOUR ATTY. OVER A POPCORN SHEET.

I went to take a shower and closed the door.

Is there something wrong here?
