Two women meet at a wedding.
"So, are you a friend of the bride?"
"Certainly not! I'm the mother of the groom."
Or for many years after the wedding...
Abe calls his wife nervously two hours after he was expected home.
"So, Sophie, what are you making for dinner?"
"At this hour… what am I making? Poison is what I'm making!"
"Good, then just make one portion. I'm held up at the office and I won't be able to join you."
