Apr 12 2024 - It's All About Chili

 

Yesterday's question "Who is my mother's husband?" revealed a number of hilarious stories.  The one that stood out is from Reddit and you see the screen shot below.  

 


Do you know what AITA is?  It has its own Wikipedia entry.  Here it is.
 

Do you know how dominant Chili is in the world of things gone wrong in the family, things going right in the family and the general status of things in the family in the U.S.? It seems astonishing. 

Statista says that 125.35 million Americans consumed chili in 2020.  So that's a lot of families to have stories.   

The best-known chili story is the one that starts with "His mother's husband" - it continues with the mother's husband eating the son's wife's chili with the resulting "can't hide his disgust" and conclusion of the son kicking them out of the house.  

The story's preface is AITA?  That is an invitation for all kinds of involvement and opinion.   Here's an example of how this has inspired so many to participate.  The site is AR15 HERE and the prompt is:  My wife is making chili...It's her first time.  Should I bring up the elephant in the room?

Some of the answers are in the screen shot below:
 

The first lily beetle was in my garden the other day.  They don't have any opinions about the recipes for lilies.  They eat them all.
