A certain amount of Hate and Discontent in the household, at the moment.
My wife has been insistent that our daughter should participate in a youth group activity at our church. After much foot-dragging, she agreed that she would go to an event tonight. Preparing to leave, my wife mentioned that she should bring a warm jacket, as they were going to be doing caroling, possibly outside. The daughter announced that she does not do caroling -- and when they got there, the group was just preparing to leave to do just that -- so the daughter refused to stay.
She's in her room, sulking, and the wife is downstairs, simmering. As for me, I'm staying clear of the blast zone.
...and twenty minutes later, it was as if it had never happened!
