Divorce Turnaround Penguin Meme

This is a two-panel meme using the classic Socially Awkward/Awesome Penguin format. The upper panel sits on a blue background, showing the penguin with an awkward wide-eyed expression, paired with text explaining the poster's wife has been threatening him with divorce for 8 months. The lower panel sits on a red background, showing the penguin striding confidently, paired with text revealing the poster served his wife divorce papers first, and she is now crying in the bedroom. The humor comes from the unexpected reversal of the situation, where the party being threatened with divorce took pre-emptive action that caught his wife off guard.
