My wife is a perfectionist. She is constantly spending an enormous amount of time making sure the little details are perfect. So it did not surprise me when she went buck wild when we decided to have my parents over for dinner for the first time.

She wanted to impresses them as anyone would. After cleaning the hell out of the house she decided that she should refinish the wooden dining room table set. This was the perfect excuse to do it since she had been wanting to get it done for a while now.

I thought it wasn’t necessary, but then again I think most of the extra things she does isn’t necessary. Anyway, the refinishing goes well and the house is ready for my parents. My parents arrive that evening and we begin to eat our meal.

The meal is great and everyone is joking around and having a great time. When all the sudden my mom starts feeling light headed. Before we knew it, she passes out onto the table. She isn’t looking too good so we decide we should take her to the hospital.

The whole time my wife is flipping out thinking she gave my mom food poisoning. Well she did do it, but it wasn’t with the food. Evidently my mom had an allergic reaction to the varnishing fumes. I told my wife it wasn’t her fault, but she was very distraught. And she has never heard the end of how she tried to kill my mom.

Inhaling fumes can be very dangerous. That totally sucks for your wife.
