Here's one with an uncomfortable ring of truth from Rosemary Zwick:

After she spent the entire dinner correcting my young son's table
manners, I turned to my wife and said, "Will the training never end?"

"A boy's training never ends," she replied. "He just marries and his
wife gets the job. And, please, stop talking with food in your mouth."
