How to get in trouble with your wife

Let me preface this by saying that Gretchen looks great. You know that thing about how pregnant women "glow"? Well, in her case it's true (it probably helps that she's got a nice tan to go with it). But, as befits a woman who is 6 months pregnant, she's getting a big belly. Last time we were at the doctor, she weighed herself and for the first time weighed more than me--certainly to be expected.

Fast forward to the flight home from Thailand. At one point we were both reading, our elbows bumped, and she apologised for taking too much room. My oh-so-sensitive response? "Don't worry about it...I know you need more room now that you're bigger than me."

Is that so wrong?
