Now You’re Just Pithing Me Off

(My partner and I are making marmalade for the first time when we get into an argument about how you pronounce “pith”.)

Me: “It’s spelt P-I-T-H so it’s piTH like “the,” not piFF.”

Partner: “Are you sure?”

Me: “Yes, I’m a scientist. I know everything.”

Partner: “The last time I trusted a scientist I got pregnant.”
