When we first got married my wife asked my mom for a bunch of recipes that I liked. One evening she was making supper. I got home from work and asked what was for supper. She told me what she was making.

I vividly remember being cut off for a while.
Then one night she comes back “is this how your mom does it?”

Our daughter is 14, at her wedding I am going to bring this up in my speech to her future husband as a warning to him as to what never to say.
