I thought I would post an ideas on how to bring a new light home without having to fight with the little woman.
I did this once with a gun but flashlights would work just as well.
Before arriving home, take your new flashlights, batteries and charger completely apart and put them in an old cardboard box. It's actually better to have several lights in the box all reduced to their smallest pieces. You will find that this is indeed a good way to get more than one light into the house at the same time without having an unwanted confrontation with your lady. As you come through the front door, call your wife in to look at what you have brought home. Act very excited and don't hesitate to pat yourself on the back for your incredible find as she looks at the box full of parts. She is only going to see a box full of junk which is exactly what you want her to see. Say something like this.
I stopped at a garage sale on the way home and look what I found. The old lady said her deceased husband Hubert had this old box full of junk sitting on a shelf in the garage. He was going to try to put them together but he died before he got anything done. She told me that I could have them all for $5 as she just wanted to clean out some of his old junk. Can you believe it Honey, I got all this for only $5 because she thought it was junk.
Now here is the important part. Make sure you remember how to put all the pieces back together correctly. Otherwise you just may have a box full of junk.
There you go guys. Isn't that better than fighting about the new lights you just had to have?
If you are interested, I can post other hints and helpful pointers.
