The Night Off
(I read the following in "Romancing Your Husband" by Debra White Smith, a book I'm currently digesting at the rate of about a page at a time. It amused me deeply; not that I can necessarily relate to this... Oh wait, I can! That's why it was SO FUNNY!!!)
BBQ is usually the only type of cooking a "real" man will do. When a man volunteers to do such cooking, the following chain of events is put into motion:
1. The woman goes to the store to buy all the ingredients for the meal.
2. The woman fixes the salad, vegetables, and dessert.
3. The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils, and takes it to the man, who is lounging in a chair.
4. The man places the meat on the grill.
5. The woman goes inside to set the table, put out the condiments, and check the vegetables.
6. The woman comes out to tell the man the meat is burning.
7. The man gets up, takes the meat off the grill, and hands it to the woman.
8. The woman prepares the plates and brings them to the table.
9. After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.
10. The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off." And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women.
:)
Now before I offend any men out there, I have a feeling this chapter is going to be a rebuke to me. I'll be happy to post what I learn from it after I've finished it. For now, the above scenario was funny to me. Josh even got a chuckle out of it!
