Rashi on Kiddushin

Pour water for them into a pitcher and squawk: Crow to them, as we crow to chickens. And since he did not need to do [this in practice], but he asked him as if he had to do [it] - "my mother and father said" - [Rabbi Yehoshua] answered him with a jocular expression.

Daf Shevui to Kiddushin

My wife (and mother, and pretty much every other woman I know) would not be too pleased with the rule from this source.
But in the end, R. Joshua does rule that if the woman is divorced then the son owes them equal honor. If they’re both hollering for water, then all one can do is put the water on the floor screech at them as one does to chickens!
