You really just called your wife a cracker? I mean... it doesn't bother me. I'm not offended or anything, but I find it surprising that a (presumably) black man is calling his wife a cracker. What does she call you?
 
Just say no. WTF IS SO HARD ABOUT IT!? OH NO, MY MOMMY WON'T APPROVE... BOOHOO, WHAT WILL I EVER DO? I'M JUST A LITTLE CRYBABY WHO ONLY SEEKS THE APPROVAL OF MY PETTY FAMILY! BOOOOOOHOOOOO

STOP BEING A FUCKING SISSY AND MAN UP!

Yeah right, there is no way she can say no. Isnt this the same people who are coming to stay and told you that you need to buy them a new mattress to sleep on?

That's my mother in law, and they visited 2 weeks ago. I enjoyed that trip but, yeah, sometimes would like to live on a deserted island.
 
I'm betting there are many folks here who would do ANYTHING to be able to spend a few more minutes with their mom, let alone be able to do a little something that would make her happy. You only get one mother in this life and life can be pretty damn short. Ask the folks who spent yesterday, Mother's Day, visiting a grave what they would do.

It is just a song, suck it up and do it.

Cracker isn't a particularly offensive slur. It's not like he's calling her white trash.

Yeah, and the fact that she can go into a store and not be followed around, while every Korean grocery store owner follows me around because I'm of the darker Indian variety... And she can zoom through airport security yet I always get the "random" full inspection.. And ... for a dozen other reasons, I'm allowed to joke about race with her. Her comeback is that I'm whiter than she'll ever be since I was a die hard Buffy fan..
