My wife kept asking me to help her
We had company over today and my wife kept asking me to help her do things around the house to get ready for the company. She didn’t seem to understand that it is important to me when company comes over that the lawn looks perfect. She keeps saying things like “they are only walking from the car to the house, and will only see the lawn for a moment; they will be in the house for hours and will be seeing all of the clutter, dust and dirt for hours, please help me inside!”
So, I think I was helping to get the house ready for company. Obviously she has different priorities than I do; after all I think they will be judging ME by how nice the lawn looks, and that is much more important to me than how they are judging HER by how clean the house is!
