It begins with two women engaged in polite, subtly competitive conversation. One brags about the luxurious gifts her husband gave her with each child\u2014a mansion, a Cadillac, a diamond bracelet\u2014while the other responds with the classic, neutral, passive-aggressive line: \u201cWell, isn\u2019t that nice?\u201d<\/p>\n
