I inadvertently caused a major rift in the wife's family over the
weekend with an offhand joke that erupted from my enormous stupidity.
I felt really badly about it. We discussed it on the way home.
Wife: There are just some things you can't joke about with certain
people. I realize you're still pretty new to the family but you
should know that everyone is very sensitive about certain things and
some of us are going through really hard times right now. I love your
sense of humor and I love that you don't take anything too seriously
but you have to be careful not to hurt anyone's feelings.
Me: That lasagna was really good.
