Headcanon:
The first time Grumman suggests Roy marry his granddaughter, Roy goes back to the team and boasts that the old man must really like him. They're all super impressed except Hawkeye, who takes Roy aside later to let him know Grumman is talking about her (and she doesn't appreciate it). She doesn't let people know about the relationship because she didn't want to be seen as climbing the ranks through family connections. Also she's just a private person, and barely knows him anyway.
The guys continue to prod Roy about being invited to join Grumman's family after each meeting, and are confused by his less enthusiastic responses. Eventually:
Havoc: you met her and she was ugly, wasn't she.
Breda: or too old for you.
Falman: too young?
Feury: or just mean!
Roy: (looks at Hawkeye standing behind them all, slowly nodding) yes, she was hideous ... and ... loud ... and shouted at some children until they cried ...
(The men look confused, dismayed, resigned to their fun being over. Hawkeye gives Roy a thumbs up.)

Who says he's invoking it? What if he's actually serious about it

Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird — The Plane Designed to Leak | PlaneHistoria
The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird is one of the most iconic aircraft ever built. It was designed to fly faster and higher than any other plane in its time. But what’s even more impressive is that it was also designed to leak. That’s right — the Blackbird was designed to have tiny holes that allowed small amounts of air to escape from the plane as it flew.
This was done to make sure that the plane wouldn’t overheat. The Blackbird also had other features to help it stay cool, like its black paint which helped absorb less heat. And its “shock diamonds” — the sonic booms that were seen in the sky when the plane flew at supersonic speeds — helped it stay cool as well.
All these features made the Blackbird one of the most advanced aircraft ever built. It’s a testament to the ingenuity of the engineers who designed it and their commitment to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Visit us to know more information.

I love the question of what Riza’s mum was like. Really, she could have been a bigger jerk than Mr H. himself, but we all want to give Riza some moment of comfort (and then snatch it away?) so we make her out of the little jigsaw pieces we have and fill the rest in with memories of warmth, love and protection.
