Almost always, if your wife is standing staring at you
with both hands or one hand on her hips or her arms folded
You know you are in trouble, and that wicked smile means your goose is cooked
However, the other hand seals your fate
she is really happy, as the saying goes, the other shoe drops when you see what she is holding
best to immediately start baring your bottom
and not antagonize her any further
