A family was having dinner on Mother's Day. For some reasonthe mother was unusually quiet. Finally the husband asked whatwas wrong.

Nothing, said the woman.

Not buying it, he asked again. Seriously, what's wrong?

Do you really want to know? Well, I'll tell you. I havecooked and cleaned and fed the kids for 15 years and onMother's Day, you don't even tell me so much as Thank you.

Why should I? he said. Not once in 15 years have I gottena Father's Day gift.

Yes, she said, but I'm their real mother.
