Not even a fat lip? Wow! I'd be sure to get smacked if I dropped my wife (again).

The one and only time, we were in a parking lot; I was pulling her toward me by the bottom of her shirt, just goofing around. She leaned back (thinking I was hanging onto her), and I let go (thinking she was pulling away). Dropped her right in a puddle! I won't likely do that again!!
