I instead use "in a ball-sack"
"Someone help! Please! I'm in a nutshell! It's small and cramped in here!"
She was asking me all of these relationship questions for the heck of it and I hadn't been answering any of them. Well one of them was, "in a nutshell, how do you view yourself?"
I knee this was my chance and took it
I looked up and replied, "Cramped."
My wife and I just had a much needed, long talk about life, family, and what we needed to do in the future.
In a nutshell, she had been feeling alone and uncared for awhile because I've been so busy at my jobs and helping take care of our newborn that he hasn't felt like she has been able to share a lot emotionally with me.
She cried. I cried. Everything ended on a really positive note. Great talk.
But at the very end, we were hugging and rocking back and forth and I said, "Don't worry babe, I've got your back." I then proceeded to grab her back with my hands and hold it tight.
Eyes were rolled.
