. . . are having a cold war on the issue of whether it was more important to bring a pumpkin pie to a potluck, or to arrive somewhat on-time. No, reallly.
In school they spent years trying to teach me algebra; better they'd taught me how to get along with my fellow human beings.
And who invented this "marriage" stuff? It's entirely beyond me.

Let's see...If you promised to bring something that would trump the late part. I would have dropped you off and picked up that pie locally. The correct answer is to go with whatever the wife thinks.

He did drop me off before going back for the pie. But of course that made him even later, and it was a very structured party. Long story, of course. But my point was that it's possible to get hung up on very small issues.

I think the question is how much is "somewhat" late....
Were you baking this pie yourself?

The most important part was that everyone got their pie...Wars have been fought for less. But then, how many people can feast on just one pie?
I did say to defer to you!
Anyone have a taste for pie? I do!

Darrell, I've noticed before that LMA's blog often makes me hungry. :-)
This marriage stuff? It was invented to give us the stamp of having Grown Up. It shows we've finally Arrived! We're real for real Adults now! And everyone must respect us for our Mature Status!!

To answer the last part, "Who invented this marriage stuff?"
Women did, as part of some plot to civilize men. I know .. I usta be a man, till I got married.

Versus married women, I mean: they haven't had all this childraising nonsense to deal with.
