To this day, 21 years later, when having a discussion with my wife that appears to me, at any rate, to make no sense I always ask, “Lady, do you speak English?” I do watch my back for a few days afterwards; you know how those foreign Orientals do hold a grudge.
OMG. The fact that you are still alive to post about this means that your wife is the most forgiving woman I have ever known in my life!
BTW, my wife was also asked if our 50% Chinese 50% Russian 100% American son was adopted from China when she took him to the park when he was a baby.
