ADVICE FROM A RETIRED HUSBAND.
It is important for men to remember that, as women grow older, itbecomes harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as
when they were younger.
When you notice this, try not to yell at them. Some are oversensitive,
and there's nothing worse than an oversensitive woman.
When I retired a few years ago, it became necessary for Lorraine to get
a full-time job, along with her part-time job, both for extra income and
for the health benefits that we needed.
Shortly after she started working, I noticed she was beginning to show
her age. I usually get home from the golf club about the same time she
gets home from work. Although she knows how hungry I am, she almost
always says she has to rest for half an hour or so before she starts
dinner. I don't yell at her. Instead, I tell her to take her time and
just wake me when she gets dinner on the table.
When doing simple jobs, she seems to think she needs more rest periods.
She had to take a break, when she was only half-finished mowing the
front lawn I try not to make a scene. I'm a fair man... I tell her to
fix herself a nice big cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade and just
sit for a while. And, as long as she is making one for herself, she may
as well make one for me too.
EDITOR'S NOTE:
Frank died suddenly on January 31 of a perforated rectum.
The police report says he was found with a Calloway extra-long 50-inch
Big Bertha Driver II golf club jammed up his rear end, with barely 5
inches of grip showing and a sledge hammer laying nearby.
His wife Lorraine was arrested and charged with murder...
The all-woman jury took only 10 minutes to find her Not Guilty,
accepting her defense that Frank, somehow without looking, accidentally
sat down on his golf club.
A hole in one, so to speak.
