Bells Warn You When Your Wife is on Her Way and You Want to Play
Booby Trap
This month is Game On Month. The Donkey provides tips on how husbands can squeeze in a little extra video-game time.
From my experience with gamers, I have noticed that they are always trying to sneak off for a quick game or an update on what is going on with their clan even if they only have a 15 minute window. Undoubtedly they get busted by their wives because the wives have an advantage: the element of surprise. Today’s method negates this advantage and allows for additional game playing time. Tell your wife that you have a headache or that you want to read a book. Begin to head to your gaming area, but grab a few essentials along the way: string and some Christmas bells. Tie the bells to the string and place them on the floor heading to your room. You’ve now created a simple alarm to alert you of a potential raid. The string and bells method is on the extreme side; normal household objects would work much better: baby rattles, silverware, plastic cups, or corn flakes.

How about just telling the wife that playing the games is a great stress reliever and allows you to be a better husband and father the rest of the time. Tell her that while you are playing the game, it lets your mind take a break from worrying about all of your responsibilities of being the man everyone depends on you to be.
If that works, let me know. It didn’t work for me. My XBOX is not even hooked up anymore.
