#48: And the Husband of the Year Award Goes To…

Henpecked Hal, you have solved the age-old mystery of exactly what women want. This is it. This is the ultimate gift you can give a mom. We don’t want flowers, massages, or even a home-cooked meal. We want peace, quiet, and shared misery. The true gift is understanding and sympathy.

If you think I’m kidding, I’m not. I have over a decade of momming experience. I have spoken to hundreds of other mothers during that time. If you polled moms worldwide, over 80% would agree. The remaining 20% are just trying to pretend they’re the ultimate mom but still secretly harbor this desire.
