I tried this schtick on my three sons growing up, and they told me I was full of it.
You are doing better than I, my wife asked me what I wanted for tea/dinner tonight and I stupidly told her I didn't care as I don't follow women's sports.
After she finished throwing a wobbly I stuck my head in the kitchen and told her that I was just popping in to barrack for the team.
Not sure I am getting fed tomorrow.
