We men don’t get it.

My wife had a doctor’s appointment this morning.

It was getting close to her time to leave, and she was violently scrubbing down the kitchen.

I said, “What are you doing, you’re going to be late?”
She said, “The kitchen is dirty.”

After a moment, I said, “Our cleaning lady is coming this morning. Isn’t that what she’s supposed to do?”

“Well, I don’t want her to see how dirty it is,” was her answer.

I stood for another moment and went back into my studio. There’s no response to that kind of thinking.

And yes, I know all the women out there understand it.
