In the spirit of inter-gender relations, I would like to share this ancient text, scribed by the Venutians for the benefits of poor misguided Martians everywhere...
Martian Survival Guide for Successful Co-Habitation with Venutians
1. Thou shalt not wander into thine own kitchen and wonder out loud where anything is kept. This is your domain, your kingdom; become familiar with it.
2. Thou shalt not refer to caring for thine own offspring as ‘babysitting’.
3. A smart Husband remembers his True Love’s birthday, but forgets her age.
4. Thou ist not ‘helping’ when performing household chores. Unless you live in the yard, this is also your castle to maintain.
5. If thou wishes the carriage to be driven to thine exact wishes, kindly drive the cursed thing thineself.
6. If thou cannot make a decision, thou hast no right to complain when one is made for thee.
7. When thine True Love states she is “Fine”, throw chocolate at her and run for the door.
Love it - especially #7!
ReplyDeleteWell Said!
ReplyDeleteI wish that I had to pay heed. The shoe is on the other foot in my house, especially since we moved to a condo five years age. My wife has just not been with it; and then she was just diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's.
ReplyDeleteNot to complain or be a downer. Life goes on. We deal with it.
Thanks,
Greg

ReplyDeleteVisiting from SITS.
No matter how many times over the last 17 years I have explained to my beloved that he is not actually unstacking the dishwasher "for me", he still thinks this display of affection is outside his job spec. I usually get narky and hand him the loo brush. Now this is real love - anyone for explosive diarrhoea??
