A conversation between a husband and a wife.

Huband is working on the computer. Husband puts headphones on.

“Honey, I have to take a business call for a meeting” – says husband.

“Okay” – says wife.

Wife walks into another room. Wife turns on a video and begins to work out. Wife forgets workout weights and enters room where husband is to retrieve them.

Husband sees wife enter into the room and gives her a hand signal. Husband gives the signal again and motions wife to leave the room.

Husband finishes the business call and enters into room where the wife is.

“Nance, if you are going to be home while I work, you need to respect me when I give to signal?” – states husband.

“The signal?” – says wife.

“Yes, the quite coyote signal. Do you know what it means?” – replies husband.

“Do I know what the quiet coyote signal means? Are you kidding me? I have used that signal with children for years. I’m the one who taught you what it means” – says wife

“Well, perhaps you need a retraining on hand signals” – mentions husband.

Wife glances at husband.

“Perhaps you need a training on hand signals too. Do you know what this means?” – states wife.

Wife gives husband a hand signal.

“Hey, everyone knows what that signal means!” – says husband
