Joe’s wife, Dot, is going to be coming home from the rehabilitation center next week so Joe was trying to give me tips on how to get on her “good side”.

I asked him, “Should I make her some cookies?”

Joe:  “Well, yeah she might like that…”

I said, “I heard that she likes to be the boss around here, so I should just say ‘yes ma’am’ and ‘no ma’am’…”

Joe: “Oh yeah, you definitely should do that!”  But he still looked kind of confused.

Then he said, “No, you just always talk to her right side because that’s her good ear – she’s totally deaf on the other side…”
