If you're bored one day, spend some time deliberately mishearing your wife. So when your wife says "Catch it in your right hand.", answer "Oh, I'd better wipe that off." Or if she says, "We need a new deal.", reply with "I didn't even know they wore clothes.". Or if she says, "Be nice!", ask, "In the freezer?" And when she finally says, "You don't seem able to take anything seriously.", reply, "I don't even know a Mabel."
