lol......Beg to differ bud
.......this is why
(Enjoy)
The male work list is just up keep around the house.
The Honey do list is more like a pro angler during a fishing tournament.
1.
The bait
(She says) "Honey......can we paint the trim around the door to the kitchen...its getting kind of old".
(You say) "Sure hun, it is getting a little worn".
Ok......now here is where it goes sideways....The trim is worn a little....and needs a fresh coat.....You go to the store.....but she picks the color......You paint,,,Done
Next week
(She says) "Honey baby, the handles on our kitchen cupboards don't really match the trim on our doors.....I saw some really nice ones that will go great, and they are on sale at the hardware store" !
(You say)
(with alarm bells ringing loudly in your head) "Well hun,,,,,we can go look at them". (knowing full well at this time, you are already hooped, but wanting to be non committal, all the while looking for the best answer to appease the admiral).
You go to the hardware store....The handles look great, and they are on half price......So you bite, buy and install....done.
Next week.....
The hook.
(She says) "Honey......I know you really want that new fish finder with GPS. Why don't you just go get one with this money I have saved out of our grocery money, and when you get home ill have your favourite steak waiting at home for you"?
Male mind confusion......You think you are getting rewarded for your diligence.
(You say) Wow huny,,,,,really? That is so cool....you did that for me?....I love you. Along with the fish finder, you bring home flowers and wine for the meal.
Playing the line.
During dinner....She tells you how much she loves you, and thanks you for the beautiful flowers, mentions something about hardwood samples.......????....but you are chomping on your steak so you don't really hear, and she holds up the bottle of wine, looks at you, (seemingly to ask if you want more). The next words out of your mouth are "Yes dear"
Reeling The line in.
Next week she comes home with three samples of hardwood flooring, and asks "which one do you like best darling"?
(Your mind is now past alarm bells ringing, and gone to full blown siren "imminent threat")
(Two of the samples are carp....really soft wood and an ugly stain on them, the third is a good solid oak in a nice stain)
(You say) "I like the third one hun" WHY?
She says that last week you agreed to look at sample of flooring for the kitchen because everything is looking out of place now that the trim and handles are on. the vynal you have on the floor is looking old and warn (5 years) and she needs a change in her life because Betty sue down the block has a hard wood kitchen.
You say "But hon"........She starts crying and says her life is miserable because of the horrid vynal she has to look at every time she walks into the kitchen. The grey lino reminds her of a prison cell and how would you like working in a prison each and every day.
She also reminds you that "you just don't understand her" and are really insensitive to her "feelings".
Then she drops the bomb and tells you that this is the 16 th anniversary of the first time you kissed her under the canvas on your boat when it was raining.
(you say) Babe, that wasn't the first time we kissed.
(She says) " It was the first time we kissed under the canvas on your boat when it was raining" she was cold, "When you kissed me it made me feel so warm inside, that i knew you loved me, and you are a total shmuck for not remembering that day" "That was our kiss. (first time she has ever mentioned the kiss).
Whipped, beaten, and manipulated. you agree to the new floor.
Next week.
Landing the fish.
Hun.....The fridge is acting up !
