Sometimes my wife just let's me know , how screwed up I am

This morning so far
My wife - you know we have a keurig. Why do you always percolate coffee. You do know we’re living in the twenty first century.

Teb- Here you go as I hand her a coffee from the twenty first century coffee machine.

She grabs her creamer
My wife - Did you hit the 12 ounce brew instead of the 10 ounces. These mugs really should have 10 ounce brew because of there size.
So now she pours out coffee so she can have the correct amount of coffee to cream ratio.

As she is eating her danish. I sit down with my bagel. And grab the first plastic utensil out of the container on the bar. Yup it was a spoon.
My wife- Why would you use a spoon to put cream cheese on a bagel.

Teb - What is the problem I get the same results. Then sarcasm I said I actually prefer a spork to use applying cream cheese. Really dear think about it a spork is like a Swiss Army knife of plastic utensils.

I was ignored as she read the morning paper.

Percolator from my cold, dead hands. I have had them all, wasted money on special coffee.

My Hazel Nut coffee perking is the sweetest sound and smell of my morning!

We all have our preferences. Each one was too hot, cooled too quickly, did not taste right.

I think I have 4 in the garage closet right now.all good, just not right.

Also to pour it on the saucer and slurp the first couple of sips so it's cool.

Perc ☕ is the only way to make it.

And she decides what is a big decision, and what is a small decision.

I have been using a vacuum pot for 10 years and don't suppose that I will ever use anything else.

We've all been confined too long, TEB. First day you can, you owe this lady a big fancy breakfast (and I know you're capable) with a bunch of flowers and a box of candy. Trust me.
