He Said That 2

So I’ve had domino deadlines this week, and while I’ve been keeping up with the laundry, I haven’t managed to work in the ironing, too.

This morning, I was innocently sipping my coffee, checking my email as my husband dressed himself for work. First he asked if I had an outfit in mind for him. I didn’t. Then he gave me a Look when I gave him pants to wear that Would Do Without Ironing.

He was ready to walk out the door when I (still innocently) asked if he would take out the overflowing trash.

There was an exchange. He left the trash where it was. Then he called me before he had gone half a mile from our house. And (I swear) this is what he said.

“Do you just not want me to have any time to myself?!”
