I'm waiting for a 'you were right and I was wrong' from SWMBO.........................

I imagine it's because they're male and they can't imagine that a woman could have even heard of a widget, much less understand its application. It amuses me to tell them to call me Madam and hear them grovelling and trying to excuse themselves.

Mary all woman
