Fearful of the Wrath of the Cook
Does the turkey look done? The young bride asked her husband.
She was having both families to Thanksgiving and she was nervous.
Her husband had no clue. He had not ever cooked a turkey either.
His mother was on her way. She had a meat thermometer in her purse.
She did not want to seem pushy, but she was ready to use it.
What do you think? The young bride asked her mother-in-law.
The young bride’s mother tried to give a suggestion, but she got snarled at.
So the mother-in-law kept the meat thermometer in her purse.
Fearful of the wrath of the young cook.
Not realizing women are never as mean to anyone else
As they are to their mothers as she was the mother to six sons, no daughters.
