I hope they're still together living a happy life.
Like mother like daughter, or rather, like father like son-in-law. My granddad and my grandmom had a similar incident over bread pudding. And yes, my dad thought he was funny, just like my granddad did when he made fun of my grandmother's bread pudding. Both of them learned that women in my family have great senses of humor....except when they've worked for hours on a special treat for their husbands.
My parents had a long and mostly happy marriage until my mom passed away in 2011. I think I've told the story of my dad's proposal here before...my father, ever the romantic, proposed with "why don't we just get married?...if it doesn't work out we can always get divorced." They were married for over 40 years.
It was the 60s and nobody was into the marriage thing...until the new phone book came out and my grandmother called my mom asking why her address had changed. (Mom had secretly moved in with my dad.)
Which is probably way more than any of you wanted to know about my family, but I have nobody to tell these stories to until my niece gets a little older.
