Regular crazy post-breakfast scenario: Cluttered breakfast table. Bed still undone. Sink filled. Trash to the brim. Some spilled water on the floor. Clock ticking on the wall.
In between clearing the table, washing the dishes, taking out the trash, wiping the spill, H calls out and asks, “Wifey, can I have water please?”
“Okay.” Gives him water.
I continue clearing the table, washing the dishes, heating water for my bath, preparing our tea.
“Wifey, don’t forget we have to leave at 9 am.”
I turn around and put my arms on my hips. “Husby! That’s 10 minutes from now! I still have to fix the bed, take a shower, dry my hair and get dressed. How can I do all that by 9 am?”
He looks at me sheepishly. “You’re Super Wifey.”
(Patay tayo diyan.)
Hay, I love my H talaga. He does help around a LOT but most of the time, I do the chores myself because I have a system. While I have no problem doing chores, I don’t like being rushed. Uh-uh. I’ll bite your head off if you pressure me. But when a kambyo reply (“shifting of gears”?) like this happens, I just can’t help but laugh. 😀
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.
