Honesty

 

We hadn’t been together long. My wife cooked dinner, and the potatoes were a little burned. I told her they were fine. She had anosmia so she has very little sense of taste. But she detected something. “They are burned aren’t they”? She had me fixed with one of her looks. “Yeah, they are a bit” I admitted. She looked at me, a bit mad “Then why did you keep eating them”? “Well, you put that effort into cooking them and I didn’t want you to feel bad” I tried to explain. “I never want you to put up with it again, because that’s dishonest. I want us to always be honest in this relationship, always.”

And that is why I always told her if the food wasn’t right. Because she wanted honesty above all else, in everything.
