What's a reasonable Mother's Day present? I'm thinking dinner, or fancy brunch.
Me: What do you want for Mother's Day?
Her: A trip.
Me: Uh, I meant like "dinner" or something.
Her: Then why'd you ask what I wanted?
My otherwise very reasonable wife has suddenly become unreasonable.

I tend to be literal, too. Â You asked her what she wanted, and she told you. Â If you don't want to know what she wants, don't ask her what she wants. Â Ask her what she expects.
My wife: "Do you want to help me with the dishes?"
Me: "Absolutely not. Who would ever want to do dishes?"
Wife: "Asshole."

For the record, I asked for doughnuts for Father's Day.

If I'm lucky I met might (stupid auto-correct) get to choose what food I cook for dinner on Father's Day.

Exactly.
My wife: "I better get a present for Mother's Day."
Me: "You're not my mother!"
Not that I got my mother anything either. It's a fake holiday.

I've never impregnated anyone, so it makes it easy on me. I would imagine Gordo has it easier than most fathers since it was later in the marriage before a kid came along. So years of no expectations.

I was referring to the "no expectations on Mothers' Day", but the lowered expectations of being married to you in general works as well ;-)

Works great. She has the same attitude. She doesn't expect me to go all out for her.
Granted, I have to make sure the kids celebrate Mother's Day, but the best gift is typically getting them out of her hair for a few hours.

Funny.... the one thing most mothers want on Mother's Day is to forget they are a mother for a couple hours.
