From “Me Too, 365,” by Arnold Kunst
8 November
What keeps a good marriage good is making sure the thing’s balanced.She slips out of bed on a Saturday morning to allow you the chance to get more of that oh-so-precious, just-before-getting-up rem sleep. She prepares a beautiful breakfast for the two of you. You wake gradually to the sound of gently shuffling slippers and the aroma of freshly-brewed coffee – hey, is this bliss or what?
Then, an hour later she mentions diplomatically, "As soon as you get up you can wash the dishes." You point out, "But I'm a busy man." and she ends the conversation by saying, not quite diplomatically,"You can be busy washing the dishes!" If you’ve got half the brains God gave a goose you’ll get the message:wash the dishes. [Oh, and balance her bringing you breakfast in bed on Saturday by you bringing her breakfast in bed on Sunday.]
