To swig or not to swig

Early in our marriage, I did something that shocked Charlene. I bought a carton of egg nog at Beckers. As soon as I got out of the store, I opened that carton and took a swig. According to Charlene, that is kind of like pushing your mother into a puddle. Egg nog is for drinking out of your best crystal. Time has gone by, and we have had that argument for many years. I think I have won though. A couple of years ago I caught Charlene taking a swig. That brings more joy to me than drinking a hundred cartons of egg nog out of crystal.

After 14 years, it's the little victories that count, eh? ;)
That's how you've made it through the last 14 years together: working out the differences on the important things in life! (I'm for swigging - thanks Mum!)
Sorry, Char. You are outnumbered! Swigging is definitely the way to go! The only concession I will make is that the store bought stuff is just way too sweet. I mix it 50/50 with milk .... and then add, um, ahh.... Gee. Is it okay if I admit to adding a shot of rum? Just one shot, honest!
Good conversion story.
