Note to self (and perhaps other fathers)
When your wife mentions to you a slight disappointment with the quality of her Mother’s day, DO NOT respond with the statement “But you are not MY mother. Why are you telling me?”
I now know from experience that this is not wise.

I keep threatening to write a book: Things NOT To Say To Your Wife.
Taran, Taran, Taran! When will you learn??? (By the way, I think it's hilarous that Katie reads your blog "when it's on"!!) Oh, how I wish for more females in the blog world!
PoMonkey,
We both know a certain female who would be a tremendous blogger if she didn't live in the sticks and only have dial-up.
Kadie's animus toward computers goes back years. Just last night (after the computer deleted a lengthy email she had composed) she said to me through clenched teeth "I just wish they (computers) would quit BOTHERING ME!!!"
Bowden,
Welcome to the blog. If I had known you were coming I would've cleaned up the place. I think that I would be good for at least a chapter in your book.
And by the way, I will confess to a certain intimidation that my thoughts and family stories are being read by a trained professional counselor. I imagine you taking down "counseling notes" and writing up a case study "How Not to Raise Your Kids: A Case Study in Idiocy."
Future reference material for "Things Never to Say to Your Wife Especially When She's Dealing With Hormones":
Avoid at all costs the following statement: "You're beginning to act just like your mother."
Trust me on this one.
I see you have been talking about me....oh for fast access internet!!!
