Another Recent Conversation With My Wife - 4

Posted by Anonymous On 12:15 AM

Beeki: (as I'm starting to sit down to watch TV, she motions me into the kitchen) Wait, wait, wait... before you sit down, come in here.

Cach: What? Before I sit down? What's that mean?

Beeki: (Pointing to a skillet in the sink) Here, it's all soaped up and ready for you.

Cach: Ready for me? What did I do?

Beeki: Do the dishes do themselves?

Cach: I think so... every time I come in the sink is empty!

Beeki: (glowering) ... ... ...

Cach: I'm funny and you know it.

Beeki: (through clentched teeth)... the rage... the rage...

Cach: You're pretty.

    You're lucky Beeki is a nice person. You could have gotten a soapy skillet upside the head!

    N.O. and I have a pretty good system--we do each other's most hated chore. I do laundry; he does dishes. We share the rest.

    Well, Cach, you can sleep with Beeki or you can sleep with Bert and Ernie. It's your choice.

    Maybe it's time to reread "His Needs, Her Needs" or "The Five Love Languages".

    A-dub, that is exactly the same arrangement I have with Apes. Although, admittedly I have shirked my duties in the past to the point that a world of new and exciting insects made their nests in the sink and fed off of dish funk. Then, the dishes usually do themselves.

    Beeki-

    What a great line! "Here, it's all soaped up and ready for you."

    I am so using that tactic. It seems like it might work!

  7. Seth Ward Said,

    But Beeki, you were halfway there.

    Cach, I have a little song to sing to you.


    "you got to know when to hold em'
    know when to fold em
    know when to walk away
    know when to run"

  8. Anonymous Said,

    First of all, I must go on the record as saying that I do help out with the dishes. Not all the time maybe, but I do help. Secondly, now don't get a false impression here. We do share the chores! I just found this little interchange humorous, no? Anyone relate?

  9. FancyPants Said,

    Oh, do I ever. Your last response to Beeki sounds like a familiar "how do I get out of this" male response.

    Cach - Not only do I relate, but as soon as I finish posting this comment, I'm on my way to the kitchen to search for the recorder or bugging device. 'Cuz I'm pretty sure somebody has been eavesdropping on things around here...

    Garbage, watering the lawn, making sure your car runs right, paying the bills, making/getting dinner, mowing the lawn... shall I go on?

    See, Cachinnatees? I'm very helpful! I make joke about dishes! I try to help there too! I'm working on it!

    Heeeey. Since when does bathing regular not count as a chore??

    Although I have found that the swimming pool does leave you pretty clean...
