I Screwed Up Again
Mrs. C got
home from work early tonight. She came
in the door and then hollered up the stairs.
“JOSEPH!”
Full name…not
good.
Immediately my
mind started whirling, what did I do?
Inside the balloon over
my head
Hmm…I did have a cigar and a glass of
wine before dinner, but I smoked outside, sprayed Febreze around the deck and
put the wine bottle away. I know I
closed and locked the patio door. I was
in the basement, but am positive I turned off the gas heater and shut out all
the lights. I did a load of laundry and
have not yet put it in the dryer…no, that can’t be it. I unloaded the dishwasher, loaded it with my
dinner dish, and cleaned the sink. I
have no idea.
OK, here
goes.
“WHAT?”
“WHY DID YOU PUT AWAY MY DISH AND
FORK AND THROW AWAY THE ALUMINUM FOIL!!?”
Mrs. Cranky
had a slice of pizza before work and was going to have the last slice of
yesterday’s pie when she came home from work.
“BECAUSE IT WAS DIRTY AND USED!”
“WELL I WAS NOT THROUGH WITH THEM!!”
“SORRY, USE A NEW DISH AND A NEW
PIECE OF FOIL; I’LL PAY FOR IT OUT OF MY OWN MONEY!”
You’ll never
guess what she called me.
Thinking...thinking....ummm..Jerk? :)
ReplyDeleteThinking starts with a "j" and ends with rhyming to work?
ReplyDeletebetty
How many guesses do we get?
ReplyDeleteHoney!
ReplyDeleteThoughtful - yep, I'm almost sure she called you thoughtful ...
ReplyDeleteGosh, my brain can't cope with such posers. Maybe the answer will come to me when I've had a nap.
ReplyDeleteHeeheehee!
ReplyDeleteYou can't make this stuff up--can you?
ReplyDeleteYou win a few and you seem to lose a lot.
ReplyDeleteYou two are so funny. Surely "Jerk" is on your driver's license. Maybe as a middle name?
ReplyDeleteShe called you a jerk didn't she. I knew it. You get in trouble for doing good? I don't get that and I'm guessing you don't either.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ☺
Yes, JERK is correct, and it is so much better than the previous wife who would call me a "Dumb Fucking jerk-off asshole!!" Whenever her mental disability decided to kick in...which was at least three times a month. Once a month was a guarantee.
DeleteDamned if you do , damned if you don't.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the underlying problem was that cigar. :D Well at least you get a fresh blog post out of the situation!
ReplyDeleteMay be if she sees a bug, she will not leave the used plates and the fork and or knife out. LOL
ReplyDeleteMaybe you need to set up a "wash it now" pile and a "don't touch it" pile.
ReplyDeleteI guess the secret is to never touch anything that is hers.
ReplyDeleteShe should have put a towel over it so you wouldn't look.
ReplyDeleteoh God what i should say about it ? let me think,
ReplyDeletein here wives don't usually express their feelings so openly Joe
