It's a passive-aggressive thing. Women "of a certain age" were raised to treat the man as the master of the house; maybe not explicitly but more than likely that was the example she was presented. Except we all know THAT isn't true and never has been. She's giving you one chance to look like the decision maker. Too bad you blew it.

Where do you want to go eat?
I don't care. Anywhere is fine.
How about Flounder's?
I said I don't care, Flounder's is fine. I just won't get the fish.

You hate chicken.
Chicken is fine.

etc.
