FT. WAYNE, IN — (bobfromaccounting.com) Frank
Peterson put his foot down Friday, refusing to accompany his
wife and mother-in-law to a Friday night screening of "The
Banger Sisters" at the Garden Mall Cineplex, no matter
how much she begged or threatened.
"No. I'm not going. I'm not going. I'm NOT going. No
chance. I'd rather die than sit through that female bonding
garbage. Did you hear me? I'm NOT GOING!"
Instead, Peterson chose death as the only viable option to
prevent him from seeing the film, starring veteran actresses
Goldie Hawn and Susan Sarandon.
According to wife Julie, she anticipated an argument when
her mother first invited the couple to see the film starring
her two favorite actresses, but figured she would be able
to easily sway him after running through her standard battery
of threats and guilt trips. She admits now she underestimated
her husband's resolve.
"Honestly, I didn't even expect to resort to crying
or accusing him of cheating, which I do during our most heated
arguments," Mrs. Peterson said."I assumed I'd just
look really sad and remind him how the marriage counselor
told us to spend more quality time together. Then, if that
didn't work, I figured I would offer him oral."
That strategy seemed to work well just last week when, during
a visit to Blockbuster, Julie managed to convince her husband
to watch both "Steel Magnolias" and "The Joy
Luck Club" in one evening—twice.
"I think he snapped after that," Julie says during
a visit to her husband's gravesite. "In retrospect, I
should have waited at least two weeks before springing The
Banger Sisters on him. I guess I just figured he'd think it
was a porno or something."
