Oh, my dear, please avail yourself of a goodly supply of

What's that silly quote about sarcasm... something about
being the lowest form of humor, but the highest form of
wit...
I think I must add some irony:

Another a bit like mine: brains coming out their ears, common sense in
negative equity! ;)

Sometimes I suspect him of being sly. If you don't want to do a job, do
it poorly, and maybe you won't be asked to do it again? But he's the
one who volunteered to do the vacuuming and dusting. *sigh* He is the
least mechanically inclined person I've ever known. The tools we own
are mine.

You know, a friend of mine's husband actually admitted to that years ago. In
a fit of....guilt? insanity? something? he said if it's a job he doesn't
like doing, he will do it badly so she will make him stop and not ask him
to do it any more. Stinker. I told her to keep offering corrective
instruction and have him repeat the task till it's done and done right. lol
It's what we'd do with the kids right????
Never a dull moment.....

By the time MIL and three sisters got done coddling him, I think I was
fighting a losing battle. There were a couple of wives in there,
too..... You've got to chose your battles carefully, even with kids.
Unless you have an inexhaustible supply of energy, like I remember
having years and years and years ago.
