Mother’s Day Wrap-Up
I’m in California on another “vacation” (business trip). My wife is too tired tonight to read through the post and has authorized me to post whatever I want. She suggested summing up Mother’s Day. I was hoping to do something controversial, but decided to use a little discretion.
Someone at work today asked how Mother’s Day went. “What did you do for your wife?” he asked.
“Well, nothing really,” I responded.
“You didn’t do anything?,” he questioned.
“I let my wife sleep in, made her wife bacon, eggs, and toast for breakfast and fed the kids. Then I bathed the kids and got them ready for Church. After Church I made them lunch and put them down for naps. After that I did the dishes and some laundry. I made dinner when the kids got up, played with them, and then put them to bed,” I said.
“Well that’s not nothing; that’s pretty good,” the gentleman said.
I thought to myself, “Isn’t that what I do every day? Is that really a Mother’s Day gift?”
I guess the question is: What can you do for your wife when you are already the perfect husband?

IF that were true…and I’m thinking that’s a big if…then what you could do is *shut up about it!*

If Mother’s Day was as wonderful as you say, how come she was too tired to do the column?
You’re not someone who would fill the column with outright lies just to ensure that she writes the next one, are you?

She was so tired because she was busy watching me get all that stuff done. Would I outright lie to get her to do some work on the site? Of course. Isn’t that how you motivate people?

I read a book once about the 5 languages of love. There’s gifts, (flowers, candy) words of affirmation (”you’re very pretty, I love you” etc), quality time (watching a movie together “date night” stuff like that), acts of service (taking care of the kids for the other, making sure the car is serviced) and of course the most well known physical touch . In this blog obviously Donkey is an acts of service kind of guy. He shows his love through things like making breakfast in bed and taking care of the kids. Perhaps Wife interprets these acts as love as well. Which makes them a GREAT couple. They speak each other’s languages. Now if only I could find such harmony in my own relationship. LOL
