Sort of an answer for her question: Tradition is that you DON'T ask about the wife of an Arab. "How is your wife and kids?" can be met with a deadly stare or "WTF is it to YOU?". Better not to show any interest in the wife...

"You mean 'Honey' is not your name?!"

That's hilarious :-) Of course an Arab would NEVER call another man's wife with such an intimate term...
