I know that I am not a perfect person. I get in deep trouble when for some reason I think otherwise.

you make.” Then I flashed a waxy smile in her direction. 

“That's not as good as mine?” 

Without even looking up I replied, “This is good, but not as good as the
ones you make. Yours are much better than this one.” 

“Are you sure about that? You're not just putting me on?” 

I laid my fork down and looked at her and said, “My dear, there is
nothing to compare with the mac and cheese that you make. I can tell 
the difference a mile away. You make the best mac and cheese I have 
ever tasted. This may be good, but it's not up to your standard.” 

I thought I made some good points with her. Every husband is always
looking for ways to make points with his wife. I was assuming I had hit 
the marital lottery. 

Looking at me, she stated very sternly, “That mac and cheese is mine. I
made it especially for you.” 

I have never been good at backpedaling a situation. I am somewhat of a
wordsmith, but I could not think of any words that could in any way 
help me out of this situation. 

I remember what James said, “For in many things we offend all. If any
man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to 
bridle the whole body” (James 3:2). 

I know that I am not a perfect person. I get in deep trouble when for
some reason I think otherwise.
