I'm not saying she's like my mom... but my wife doesn't seem to like any of my girlfriends.

Inflation....
A wrinkled little old lady sold pretzels on a street corner in Chicago for a dollar a piece. Every day a young man would leave his office building at lunch time, and as he passed the pretzel stand, he would leave her a dollar. He never took a pretzel.
This went on for three years. The two of them never spoke. One day as the young man passed the pretzel stand and left his usual offering, the pretzel lady spoke to him for the first time.
"They're a dollar and a quarter now."
