Thanksgiving afternoon the gals are in the kitchen prepping food and the guys are in the living room watching Packers and Lions.
Possibly pissed at the crowded kitchen or the lazy males, the hosting wife walks into the living room, picks up the remote, says "no more football," changes the channel and sits down.
The guys look sideways at each other but don't say anything. Probably all thinking "her house, her rules."
The guys exit the room pretty quickly, leaving our host gal alone watching a dog show rerun.
She seems to get the hint because pretty soon we hear the game on the TV again.
Well played, guys.

That was petty af. You want the men to help? Ask them. Men, shockingly, aren’t retarded. In my family, my husband smoked the turkey (overnight on Wednesday), so he got the day off. My dad worked many, many years to pay for the fancy house in the NO GD we were all at, so he got the day off. My brother was watching his sons, keeping them out of our hair in the kitchen, so he, in fact, did not get the day off. (My other brother took his wife and kids to a tropical destination, but in years past both he and his wife help out in the kitchen).
But if we’d asked any of our men, they’d’ve done whatever we asked them to do. I freaking hate this whole “men vs women” holiday cooking controversy. It’s not a thing unless you don’t ask for help if you need it. Ffs, in many enclaves of Cajun culture, men make the roux and the holiday (Christmas, MG, etc) gumbo. If ladies are being abandoned in the kitchen, it’s because y’all aren’t using y’all’s voices to ask for them to help. Men do not suck at cooking (at least in Cajun culture); many of our most famous chefs are men.
