LESSON 11 --- HOUSEHOLD CHORES
Lesson11: HOUSEHOLD CHORES
Yesterday, I spent two hours cleaning the kitchen from top to bottom. After supper, I said to my husband, "Let's wash the dishes before we go to bed so we can wake up to a beautiful clean kitchen."He said, "Fine."

Well, after supper we looked at TV for a while and I went to make a phone call. Next thing I knew, he had gone to bed. I opened the bedroom door and asked, "What about the dishes?" He hollered, "Get off my back. The world won't come to an end if you leave the dishes till tomorrow."

I was really steamed but decided not to make a big thing out of it. I taped a note to the bedroom mirror saying, "Wake me when you get up and we'll do the supper dishes together before you go to work."

When I got up the next morning, the note was gone and so was my husband. The kitchen was still a mess.?I don't know whether to clean it up and pretend like nothing happened or drive like a mad woman to his office and dump the pots and pans on his desk.

We both work full-time and he promised when we married that if I kept my job we would divvy up the housework 50-50.?Well, it hasn't worked that way.
