Wash Me
Tuesday, June 30th, 2009Dear Frannie,
I have been married for over 20 years. Every time I’ve taken a shower for the last 20 years my husband runs into the bathroom and peaks in the curtain and says, “Can I wash anything for you?” I think, maybe, in some very distant place a long, long time ago I might have thought this was funny once but I don’t think it’s that funny anymore. How can I get him to stop?
Not the Least Bit Amused
Dear Not,
Sneak your mother into the house. Tell everyone you’ll be in the shower if they need you and hide in the closet while your mom takes a shower. When he opens the curtain and asks if he can clean anything have your mother say, “Yes, I can never quite reach the spot in between my shoulder blades.” He’ll never offer his services again.
Always, Frannie
