Dad was king of his castle, but Mom didn’t take a backseat to nobody.

Dad‘s ground-rule was clear from the beginning  “whatever your mother says… do” I remember what he once said to me "if your mother says to stand on your head naked in the middle of the street …when I get home from work I expect to see you naked on your head and you damn well be in the middle of the street." We will find out why later, but don’t question anything your mother says.
