Bit of an issue with SWMBO, need advice

OK, I need some help here. After 3 or 4 hours of hard labor at Cory's (our youngest son) house, we come home, pour a nice glass of Baja rosé
wine, jump into the hot tub for a soak, put Peter Frampton on the portable Bose and settle in. Ahhhh, nice. A few minutes later, SWMBO asks "Is $30 a cheap or expensive ho?" Hmmm, danger, danger Mr Robinson.
So, while wondering why she wants to know and why the heck she thinks I would know, I casually say, "Pesos or dollars, and why do you ask?" . She answered, " I bought one for Cory". Holy God's trousers, I stand up and very sternly ask her what in the world is going on here. "I bought Cory a Hula Hoe on line and thought in was a bit expensive, Why are you so excited?" Long silence. As if this morning, still a bit chilly......

After living in Mexico full time since 2008, we bought a place in Idaho in 2016 and split our time between the two.

My wife is now a Mexi-'ho.

In the ‘80s the “$30(US) Hoe” was found near the Gray Market in the D.F. and generally was to be avoided at all costs!

The '80's? I think you're making that up (the price, at least). :rolleyes:

That story was relayed to me by several of the Mexican crew members working on the same project I was working on. They were Mexico City locals.
