I am getting rid of my equipment and starting fresh. Some of you know I am selling my balls. Well, this morning as I was leaving the house, the women noticed I was boxing bowling balls and loading them in my truck. She asked, "what are you doing?"

I told her I have buyers for my bowling balls and that I'm going to meet them tonight......

She blew her top off!!! Even trying to kiss her good bye didn't work lol....THis is what I heard.....

"what the hell is wrong with you?!"
"Why are you selling them? So you can buy more? I bet you're just giving them away!!"
"It's a waste of money!" "Once the next season starts, you're going to tell me, "oh I need new ball, there's a space in my bag."" (sheesh it's a "gap" not "space" - i said in my head)

SO I HAD TO LET HER KNOW!!

 I said, "I love you honey, I have to go. Eli will be late for school and say hi to your mom for me."

Standard female?

lol j/k   

My wife is pretty cool with it as mine essentially earn what I invested in them back. 

OP:  A tip........

Buy a new piece, show her the cost, and then return that cost FROM BOWLING to HER in full 1 time as your gift.   

Ask her about all those shoes in the closet...  Then DUCK!!!

By her some new dishes or maybe a new toaster. She will forgive you then. 

"Hell hath no fury like a confused woman!"

She obviously does not like the idea that you spend any money on bowling, but yet is annoyed when you try to get rid of balls by selling them. Somehow I fail to see the logic in that line of reasoning. But I've only been married for 45 years ... Marriage is a work in progress.

In the words of Ron White: "Diamonds, that'll shut er up!"

Lol, I must be lucky!  My wife tells me to get rid of my old balls before I buy new ones.  I've had a number of balls crack all the way around, and she actually tells me that I need to buy a new one. 

This all sounds like one of those jokes that go...

"and thats when the fight started".
