Not in my brother’s family. He’d be insisting on the square plates, and my sister-in-law would be rolling her eyes. (I’ve been trying to train my nieces to call him Mom and her Dad. I think a proper gender equality should allow for that sort of thing, yeah? Either that, or I’m just messing with their heads. Maybe both.)
This is a funny thing. I am a single dad, but my kids call me mom *sometimes* after they’ve been at theirs. However it appears connected to what they’re wanting my attention for. As a result I’ve found myself responding differently based on if they ask for me by calling me mom or dad. Like if it’s a thing they need, they call me dad, but if it’s hugs and cuddles they call me mom.
After being moved to a round plate:
“Better?”
“Mm.. Mm, no. It still tastes like it was on a square plate before.”
*sigh* “Alright, I’ll make you a new one…”
I had square plates. My last girlfriend always got really freaked out by them. She kept calling them “abominations”. So, I bought round plates.
Apparently, white plates are abominations too.
Don’t date crazy people; you wind up buying too many plates.
If it’s the same sandwich that has been eaten a hundred times already, there’s certainly something wring with it.
I bet that’s Dad, making the sandwich, with all his best will, and at the end, that’s Mom, complaining about minor details as well….

Square plates are better. You fit more food in them!
My dad always says, “you’ve got to be nuts, to argue with crazy people.”
Eat the freaking sandwich you freaken heathen.
