this is me.

Back when Jody was growing up, his mom had a book called "Don't Eat the Doily" that she'd conveniently leave in the bathroom.  I think this is partly the reason Jody is such a gentlemen today (*insert semi-sarcastic cough here).

These books are a martial take on manners.  I was happy to be reminded to compliment Jody's chickens before leaving for the Opera.  Its so easy to overlook that kind of thing.

DON'T for Wives
Don't omit to pay your husband an occasional compliment. If he looks nice as he comes in dressed for the opera, tell him so. If he has been successful with his chickens, or his garden, or his photography, compliment him on his results. Don't let him have to fall back on self-esteem all the while for want of a little well-directed praise.
DON'T for Husbands
Don't stubbornly refuse to put on your overcoat on a threatening morning, and then when, after getting wet through on the way to the station and sitting in your wet clothes, you develop a bad cold, take it out of your wife by being crotchety and irritable.
