It’s 9:45pm. Mike and Lisa have just finished watching West Wing together on the couch. It’s dark. It’s late. It’s romantic. Lisa gives Mike a fond squeeze. Mike suddenly wiggles free and jumps up.
Mike: “Dishwasher’s finished it’s cycle. Need to unstack it.â€
Lisa (confused) “Did you just say you need to unstack the dishwasher? Right now?!?â€
Mike: “Yes, honey, yes. Otherwise the dishes stay all wet and yucky overnight.â€
(Long pause while Mike unstacks the dishwasher and Lisa plays on facebook)
Lisa (towards the kitchen): “I think you’re fantastic.â€
Mike: “No, I think unstacking the dishwasher right now is not the best idea I’ve had all day.â€
Lisa: “I think it’s sexy.â€
Mike: “No, not really.â€
Lisa: “Yes, it really is.â€
Mike: “No, it’s not. If overseeing the dishwasher really was sexy then I’d have an easier time of it on www.findabetterwife.com.â€
