It’s one of her many copyrighted expressions. Yes, I live with a master of one-liners. The Bride is the Emma Bombeck of our generation–if I ever convince her to publish a weekly column.

“Remember zen!”

Does she never say it because I don’t need to hear it, or she tired of constantly saying it?

You decide…
