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!
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.
ReplyDeleteyeah. 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.
ReplyDeleteWho ever is interested in cleaning?
ReplyDeleteNot this guy. That's for certain.
filter, schmilter. I'll filter you!! YEAH!! I'LL FILTER YOU A NEW ONE!!! THAT'S WHAT YOU SHOULD BE SAYING!!
ReplyDeleteOK, the caps lock got away from me there. Sorry. Go about your bidness now.
