There’s this newlywed Greek couple, (Helen and John).
On the first day of their conjugal life, Helen wants to take good care of her husband and prepares a beef stew which has a high level of difficulty but knows that he very much enjoys.
It’s a long day in the kitchen for Helen who spends the better part of the afternoon and evening preparing this meal.
In the late evening when he returns from the office, he finds the dinner table prepared to perfect, candles, etc., and he addresses his wife:

- My sweet Helen, what is that mouth savouring smell? - It’s beef stew John, she replies.
He’s overcome with joy, takes a seat, tries the food and says:
- It’s nice, Helen, but my mother adds cinammon and it’s even tastier!
I’ll ask her to give you the recipe so you can do the same.

Helen is a bit dejected but is not a quitter.
The following day she decides to prepare mousaka, knowing very well that that too, is among his favourite dishes.
She puts great effort into preparing the meal, adding all kinds of spices, frying the eggplant to perfection, preparing the bechamel sauce and so forth, so she can really impress him!
John returns from work in the evening, finds the dining room table prepared to perfection, with candles, and asks his wife:

- Honey, what’s that lovely smell?
- It’s mousaka John, she replies.
He seats himself full of anticipation, tries the food and says:
- It’s good, Helen, honey, but my mother uses this secret ingredient in the bechamel sauce and it tastes even better!
I’ll ask her to give you the recipe so you can do the same.

By now, Helen is beginning to lose her patience given the amount of effort she’s been putting into preparing dinner for him, something he does not appear to appreciate. So shes decides to move on to a new playing field, and cleans the house to perfection, spending long hours scrubbing the floors until she can see her reflection in them.
John returns in the evening, and as he enters his home he inspects it, sees his reflection in the marble floor ....and says:

- Great job, Helen, but my mom use to keep the house in this condition every single day...!

Helen is about to experience a nervous breakdown so she calls one of her girlfriends to go out for a cup of coffee and analyze her ordeal.

- Something’s wrong with John, Maria, he seems to be over-attached to his mother!
I think I made a mistake to marry him so quickly!
Maria, who briefly processes the information tells her:
- Don’t be silly Helen, you can’t compete with the mother-housewife ideal as far as cleaning and cooking are concerned! You should focus on a different field! In the bedroom that is! Go out and purchase the sexiest black lingerie that money can buy, black satin sheets, etc. Create a seductive atmosphere with candles, soft music, lights out and you shall wait for him on the bed…..once that is done we’ll meet and you’ll tell me all about it....... ........
- You really think so Maria? You think that will help him get over his mother...

Helen decides to take her advice. She lays down on the black satin sheets wearing sexy black lingerie, etc. and waits for John to come home from work.

When John returns from the office, he looks for his wife in the kitchen but can’t find her.
- Helen, where are you?
No answer.
He rushes to the living room, the lights are all out.
- Helen, where are you? Again no reply.
He heads towards the bedroom, opens the door, sees candles lit everywhere and his wife laying on black satin sheets dressed in black lingerie, takes one good look at her and is about to go mad....

- Helen, why haven’t you replied to me all this time........... Helen why are you dressed in black??? Did something happen to my mother???!!!
