The great thing about Fridays is the good humor, the laughter and the welcome relief of knowing the weekend is here. For married parents in my area, it’s also the last school day for a week and we’ll all be scrambling to get ready for the holidays. Some of us will be traveling. Some of us will be having visitors. Hopefully, all of us will be having a good time.
So with that in mind, here are 10 things that wives and girlfriends need to know – or at least that most of the men in our lives would like women to know. So without further ado, here they are:
- Sports Center starts at 11:00 PM and runs an hour. This is a great time to pay bills, put laundry in the dryer or talk to your sister.
- Two hot dogs and a beer at a baseball game do, in fact, constitute going out to dinner.
- Unlike you, we essentially want to dress just exactly like all our friends. Thus, you need not go much further than the Gap, J. Crew or the local Patagonia store.
- If we see you in the morning and at night, why call us at work?
- Butthead is the smart one.
- Is it too much to ask to have the bra match the underwear?
- You probably don’t want to know what we’re thinking about.
- Silence does not need to be filled with discussions about “us” and “the relationship.”
- Things you can help with: the Sunday crossword, yard work, the dishes, cleaning, and grocery shopping.
- Things you should let us do alone: figuring out where we are, watching anything on TBS, playing cards, smoking cigars and picking out the beer.
*Remember, this is all in good humor – and any resemblance to real life is purely unintentional – though likely funnier for you.
