Lovely Wife and I went to relationship counseling once. Our "facilitator" seemed likable enough and our session started out pretty well. At one point she said something along the lines of "It is essential that husbands and wives know the things that are important to each other." She then asked me if I could name Lovely Wife's favorite flower.
I leaned over, feeling very confident, touched Lovely Wife's arm gently and whispered, "Self-Rising, isn't it?"
The rest of the story is not pleasant.

Self-Rising actually is my favorite. It's one of the secret ingredients in my Deadly Double Chocolate Cookies.

I sense another chocophile's presence. I'll see if I can whip up a batch and post a story/recipe in the near future. Baking's usually reserved for weekends and this weekend I'll be a hundred miles away from my stove but perhaps next weekend will offer the opportunity. Stay tuned!

Hilarious!! We men just don't understand our women, do we? Reminds me of the time I sold an old text book of my wife's because she didn't really need it - I had another one that covered the same subject and mine was more up-to-date. Nobody needs two books like that, right? Wrong, this one had lots of sentimental value and I lost whatever sentimental value I had in her eyes that day.

Sentimental value in a textbook? Yeah, I would have flunked that one too.

I'll bet the relationship counsellor had never heard that one before. Plus he/she would be marking you two down in the "long term therapy" column. Actually probably just you. As if any man understands the difference between self-raising and the other kind.
Still, it's funny and good enough to
steal as my own one day remember.
