Sounds like a simple math problem to me. Your wife says 9 each. I'd counter with ... you get your dozen and the SIL gets 6
Been many decades, but seems like you could get pickled eggs at The Fort....never got that close to the bar....coff...coff..coff...Oh my word ! We went from pickled eggs to a lecture in economics. This is like happy hour in Morrisville, NY, home of the SUNY Agriculture , Business , and Tech college.
That's great! A while ago I got one of those 'last expenses' spam calls. I kept the woman going for some time before I finally said I don't need burial insurance for my wife. She asked why and that's exactly what I said, I have a backhoe and we live in the woods.I didn't get any of those presents I do have a backhoe, so she'll likely just use it to get rid of what's left of me for free
