The relatives

Wife's relatives are visiting. They are quite finicky about food, but fortunately they cook their own food. Wife's aunt is a pretty good cook and made some delicious food yesterday. But she is quite prone to dirtying the kitchen as she goes about preparing her elaborate dishes.

Wife guards the kitchen zealously. She likes it spick and span. She doesn't like people going in and messing it up. Twice in the last two days after a hard cooking session, she and I have spent a good 45 minutes cleaning up the mess. The relatives make fun of us now for being so fastidious.

I wonder how wife will cope when her mother visits us later this year. MIM is also picky about food and I am sure she'll spend considerable time cooking and I'll bet that'll drive wife crazy.
