When you go out to dinner with a large group because you have family visiting... and her brother and her leftover wings and ribs end up in your car... don't team up with her brother to eat her wings and ribs on the drive home and then put the bones into the refrigerator so she can take them to work the next day... to discover that they are just bones when she goes to heat them up for lunch.

I'm not sure how long it takes to get over this.  It has been 24 years and she still won't laugh about it.

This it too good…and too real. The wife and I have been together for 15 yrs, married 9. She’s learned that leftovers more than 6 hrs old are basically a winning lottery ticket at this point.

RE: The cook/clean dynamic, we settled that a few years ago.

When I cook, I clean.
When she cooks, I clean.

She's the clean freak but Ray Charles has better dishwasher loading skills than my wife.

Another real one here. Every time I see her loading the dishwasher I sing the Mick Jones song “It feels like the first time”
