and Ward has an issue with it? Treats her like a child like he did with her balancing the check book.

Am I making this up or did it really happen?

I remember the checkbook incident, but I don't remember the traffic ticket. I don't see season 1 too often so it might have happened there..

They had little disagreements over her shutting off the faucet too tightly (so he has to replace the washers more often), and her pulling the plugs out by the cord rather than the plug.

As the series continues she does get some good zingers in on him.
