Even early on 老婆 made this insight into my character, and the 豬頭 in me meant I wasn’t about to change, either. (And still she married me. But that’s a subject for another day.) My reason is this: the alternative is worse. Those of you with short tempers act irresponsibly upon your anger, then emerge from behind your slammed door and assume your victims will just accept your smiling face. I don’t. And I think those of you that do are only contributing to these babies’ stunted emotional growth. They won’t ever learn that there are real consequences to their tantrums, that is, people are hurt, and the stupid jokes that they try and make their comebacks with, which only pours salt on all our wounds. I can clot, too, but not on someone else’s schedule.
