Heather’s birthday is coming up soon. Last year I asked her what she wanted. She said, “Nothing would make me happier than a Cuisinart!” So I got her nothing. Bad move.
Taking what people say literally can be very dangerous. Especially your wife and/or mother in law. Each have a tendency to be pretty sarcastic which can be really confusing sometimes. I had a mother in law once who said some really weird things when the marriage failed.
She was angry with me and said a couple of things I still don’t understand. She said, “She broke her back trying everything she could to please you!” I was stunned! I said, “I had no idea! You should probably go now and take her directly to the hospital! A broken back is nothing to mess around with!” When I came to, they were gone.
Her mother also said, “I can’t believe you put your feet under my table!” I said, “Where did you want me to put them? My Mother taught me table manners so I think it wouldn’t be polite to lean back and put them on top of the table.” I know!
I’ve had dinner at my current in laws house only one time in 20 years. I put my feet on the table and Heather’s mother was really mad and I was never invited back. Women! Who can figure them out?

Folk are funny like that.
They ask you ‘Be honest. What do you think about…..’
Then never speak to you again.
Go figure.
