Boys??!!

I just have to throw this one out there for the ladies...

I'm sure your house is like ours. Everyone has their strengths. Everyone helps out in different ways... I clean the house. Gary, not so much... BUT he feeds the dogs, takes the garbage out to the curb, mows the lawn...you get the picture. (It's not a complaint that I clean the house - it's just that I'm the only one that does that job for the most part...)

Well... Gary's been home for the last few weeks after getting laid off (he starts his new job Monday - yay!). Since he's been home, he's been helping out some around the house. Picking up, laundry, dishes - that kind of thing. A few days ago he said to me:

"I did 2 loads of dishes yesterday, one this morning and there are STILL a few dishes on the counter!". I think there was a bowl and a cup or something - usually he'd never see those, he'd just wait for me to walk by and put them in the dishwasher (again, NOT a complaint - just an observation).

My reply was: "Welcome to my world!!"

His response?

wait for it...

"What do you mean YOUR world?! I did 2 loads of dishes yesterday and I did another load this morning!!"

Right.... and for the last 7 years BEFORE his lay off, the dish fairies came and did the dishes, and I'm SURE they only did 1 load a week, or so??...
