"When you're married, your wife often presents you with ideas or questions that seem awful at first, but then kind of gain merit as they progress. (Partly because the wife is ALWAYS right and partly because they're actually pretty good ideas.)

You know what I'm talking about. She'll say, "We really should repaint that spare bedroom." You think, "This may be the single worst idea that I've ever heard." But as the day goes along, you start to warm up to the idea. By the time the room is painted, you have to admit that the old paint was looking pretty shabby and it was probably time for a change."
