Wife and the girls and I were going someplace when the girls were about 10 and 12. We stopped to get gas, wife was driving. There is ONE pump open, place is busy. I point out the open pump. Wife declines, no reason given. Pump stays open while she surveys the other, apparently more acceptable, pumps. I mention again that the ONE pump remains open.
Youngest girl chimes in to help ol’ dad out. Wife’s jaw is set, she is NOT going to THAT pump.
We finally got fueled up, but not at THAT pump. It is a source of hilarity for me and the girls to this day, wife will admit that it was simple stubbornness. Fortunately, that is the one and only time I can remember her being stubborn, other than staying with me.
