overacting Boss

So, my boss is kind of overreacting. I thought I was pretty clear in my email, you know? I'm just trying to get the green light for a follow-up, and the email was actually meant for his wife, not him in the first place. And, surprise, surprise, his wife already said no follow-up needed. So, why the need for another email telling me not to send a follow-up? It's a bit much, don't you think?
