i can't understang the two sentence.
before, Gloria had a argument with a children's mother
her husband:"that little blowup with that other mom,why do you have to do things like that"
Gloria:"if somebody say something about my family,i'm going to..."
her husband:"i'm just saying,you could take it down a little bit, that's all"
i don't understand "that little blowup with that other mom" and "you could take it down a little bit"
what the meaning?
