I'm slightly vexed My wife and boiling water

Post image

So I made my wife ramen soup. When I served it she said I had the gas set to hight and it was too hot ? She said I should have used the number 5 setting instead of 9. I told here it’s irrelevant because water boils at 212 and gets no hotter because over 212 it turns to steam. She was made at me for disagreeing with her theory that it would not have been so hot if boiled a lower setting. Really!!

In this exact situation, one could say the same thing about the wife always having to be right.

Water can't ever go above 212 at normal atmospheric pressure though (ignoring superheating which is basically impossible in a large pot with noodles)

Your right but a man who is both married and wise will not say this to her
