The Slice

Who knew?

A friend suggested what strikes me as a pretty great Slice question.

What personal flaws or shortcomings (as observed by your spouse) have you learned were on his or her list of your demerits only as a result of a conversation about one of your children?

His wife  -- a very nice person, by the way -- was talking to my friend about their young son recently and allowed that "Unfortunately, he has your knees."

My friend freely admits that his knees, great ungainly things, are not a sight one would wish to experience while near open food. But he had not realized their appearance was officially on his wife's list of his personal defects.
