For as long as
George and Gladys have been married, Gladys has taken her shoes off and tucked
them into a corner somewhere in the house. George has complained about it
repeatedly, but it hasn’t changed her habit. There are often two or three pairs
of shoes in the kitchen corners, and some in the living room tucked under the
edge of the sofa.
After opening his
top dresser drawer the third day in a row to find a myriad of trinkets and change
on top of his underwear, George has a meltdown. “Why is all this junk in my top
drawer of the dresser every time I open it?”
Gladys answers, “It’s
all the junk you leave on the dresser. Each morning when I dust the dresser, I
don’t know where you want all that stuff put, so I sweep it off into your top
drawer.”
George huffs out
of the bedroom after pulling everything off his clean underwear and throwing
most of it in the trash.
George and Gladys
say very little to each other all day.
That night when Gladys prepares to get ready for bed, she opens her
drawer to get her pajamas and finds three pairs of her shoes on top of her PJs.
Touché!
