Yikes, it appears that I have quite a few demerits and only a handful of merits. I should stop wearing red nail polish and putting my cold feet on M's volcano-temperatured-body at night.
M is doing quite well though: he has only one demerit according to this scale, and has over ten merits! What a lucky lady I am.

I don't understand...well, all of this, but one point of hypocrisy: one of the wife's merits is to be a good hostess, even to unexpected guests, while one of the husband's demerits is to bring guests home for meals without warning his wife. Maybe the advertisers at Kraft mac 'n cheese looked at this for guidance for the following commercial:
Happy Friday!
