Default Got some neeed help with cross-wind landings...

Just a funny little story...

I was landing a C172 the other day with the family aboard. We were on
final with a pretty decent cross wind from the right. I dipped the
right wing down a little, maintained track with opposite rudder,
touched down right main first, etc... You know, just the standard,
every day, boring, low-wing-into-the-wind approach. Turned out to be a
smooth & straight landing. As I was rolling out, the following
conversation with my wife ensued:

Me: "How's that for a nice landing, Heh?"
Wife: "Not bad, considering we helped."
Me: (confused) "You helped??"
Wife: "Yeah, obviously you had trouble keeping the wings level, so we
were leaning to the left."

I can't make this crap up.
