I got scammed!
 
So my wife calls me into her bathroom, she's standing there with a bucket and sponge, and in that sweet girly voice says "You have better eyes than I do, does this floor look clean enough?" I get down on my knees to look, and say "No, not really." She hands me the sponge and sweetly says "Ok, then can you do it?" hands me the sponge, and walks away.

rookie..

now dont do anything..and walk out..splash water on you face to mimic sweat.

let out a big "PHEW! now that floor is CLEAN!" apparently her eyes are bad and she cant see dirt. if she comes in and sees dirt..be ready to let out a hearty, "AHA!"

Easy-peasy. A few cursory swipes and leave. I guarantee she won't check it. :)

Double rookie!!!!

Know when you have been played and take it like a man... and expect to get lucky that evening. ;)

Yeah, I fell for this one like a blind roofer.

M.D. Holloway 12-14-2012 01:38 PM

Welcome to my world monkey boy! Try being married to a blind wife. She has the excuse for not being able to see filth so its up to me to clean...but she can smell and feel like an alien so if something isn't spic-n-span then guess who has to be a scrubbing bubble! Remind me again why I have kids?

This may sound strange to you but in my experience in many homes where the master bath is smaller ( which is the case in most older homes) the husband and wife use different bathrooms ( ie. hall bath and master bath).

I see this everyday

Well, this shows there is some value in reading classic American literature in school.....

Remember how Tom Sawyer got others to whitewash the fence for him? That must be part of the Wife's Handbook.

(the original is from "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain)

"her bathroom"? Sounds like great chance for rubber spiders, scorpions, you get the idea.

dafischer 12-14-2012 07:01 PM

Luckily, I couldn't fall for that as my wife has better eyes than I do. And after 30 yrs. together, I've learned to always answer "Yes" to that kind of question.:D

My old employee taught me this, he had just gotten married and this was the advice his dad had given him on his wedding day.
" if she asks you to help with the laundry, throw a new red shirt in with her whites, and turn them all pink" " if she asks you the help with the dishes, just break a few of her favorites , and she won't ask you again" " asks you to help with the cleaning, just spill a gallon bucket of cleaner all over the place, and make a mess that she has to help clean" " vacum? , just suck up something you shouldn't, and jam up the vacum" He told him to make sure to act like you are dissapointed in yourself , and say something like " I'm sorry I'm such a screw up"

"It looks wonderful dear" is the proper response!

Rick V 12-15-2012 05:23 AM

Too funny. Now some advice from someone who has been scammed before. Your response should have been, "You missed a few spots" as you are walking out the door.

The way I see it it is a choice of behavior on a continuum between being completely macho and behaving like Mel Gibson in the movie What Women Want. Which behavior is going to get u really lucky?
