How do you deal with women? After 38 years of marriage I am still asking the question. After 28 years of fatherhood I am asking it twice as much.
A recent example.
I have a small cooler I use to take lunch and snacks to work. It gets dirty. Dirt is a part of life. The first time I decided it was time to clean it I was planning on putting it in the washing machine with cold water and accept the results. When my wife found out my plan she went ballistic. I can’t remember her reasoning now but she insisted on washing it by hand. Okay. Now it was clean. Mission accomplished. On with life.
Yesterday she decided it needed to be cleaned again and guess what. She popped it in the washer. ????
I have pretty much decided that when my wife asks my opinion I don’t give one. At least that way I have a 50% chance of getting it done my way.
