Globe columnist We do a lot of yelling at our house. It’s not so much that we’re mad at each other as it is we’re lazy. Say my wife is upstairs in the bathroom drying her hair and our 8-year-old daughter, Emma, is downstairs in our kitchen eating her breakfast and watching a rerun of “Saved by the Bell,” and suddenly realizes she has a school-clothes crisis. What does she do? Well, first, Emma turns to me and asks my opinion about how best to solve her sudden school-clothes crisis. Ha! I kill myself. No, what Emma does is, knowing that my wife is upstairs in the bathroom with the door shut and running a loud blow dryer through her hair, calmly walks upstairs and waits outside the bathroom for my wife to finish drying her hair and then asks her how to solve her sudden-school clothes crisis. Ha! Seriously. I’m killing myself here. Nope, what Emma does when she realizes that she has a sudden school-clothes crisis while she is in our kitchen, eating breakfast and watching “Saved by the Bell” is to slide her chair back from the counter and yell at the top of her lungs. Emma: (Loud) Mom! Wife: (Nothing). Emma: (Louder) Mom!! Wife: (Nothing)
