This morning I cut my finger. It’s really a tiny cut but I saw blood and that should be enough for me not to have to do anything I don’t want to do for at least a day, right?
As Vince was taking the oven apart, he wanted me to clean some of the parts – soak them in ammonia for a minute then scrub with a brush. I said . . no, I have a cut on my finger.
Later, he asked me if I had gotten eggs yet. I said “No, would you do it? I have a cut on my finger.” Chicken poop . . cut . . no! I do have a bandaid and antibiotic ointment on it but still . . why risk getting chicken poop in a cut.
Later, he had something he needed to clean up and he said “Can you get me the little vacuum cleaner . . or maybe you can’t . . because of your cut!”
Considering I fixed breakfast, cleaned the kitchen, have dinner in the pressure cooker, a load of laundry on the line — all after the finger accident, I think he needs to be careful what he’s saying! He was joking but I know what he was thinking – he gets cuts every day and he never complains but . . he’s a man. As Addie says, “I’m fragile”.

I know Addie is your granddaughter–she cracks me up! Love her snappy comebacks!

I’m going to remember that….”I’m fragile”.

We knew a couple years ago, the wife “didn’t do that well” on anything that needed to be done, and she got away with it. Hence, her husband did all the housework, and meals, and we never figured out what SHE did all day! We “Everything Women” could learn a lesson from that, and not be so competent!

We’ve known a few of those too. I guess if it works for them, that’s what matters but I do have to wonder what they do all day. Sometimes, I feel like a slacker because I used to cook at least two, and often three meals a day. Now, if I can cook three meals a week and that keeps us going . . I’m happy!

That is so funny! I cut my hand one time and I still had to do all those things with it throbbing so bad I couldn’t stand it. But that is me. Men are such babies sometimes!

Sounds right to me. I mean, an infection could take that finger right off!
