...or there might be a tornado. Or a plague!


Bethany: I don’t suppose you would be interested in vacuuming the second floor? It really needs to be done before it gets hot again.

Me: …because the heat will really bake the dirt in?

Bethany: Nooo, I just won’t be able to stand the heat up there for more than five minutes, is all. Vacuuming will be right off the list.

Me: I love how you relate the possibility of cleaning to geological movement and large-scale weather patterns.

*pause*

Me: "Once monsoon season hits, cleaning the basement will be totally out of the question."

Bethany: Look, a butterfly might be flapping its wings in Japan right now!

  1. i love how Bethany starts things with "I don't suppose you would be interested in ...", and from that point on become incoherent and turn into a request of some kind.

  2. yeah. It's her passive aggressive way of asking me to do something. She refuses to accept that I will never actually be interested in vacuuming or doing the dishes. I just won't.
