7:25 p.m. | 2003-02-18 RobinTheHood & His Merry Maid. I use to live across the street from a family. The Husband (H) was in his 60s and had retired after a long career with the telephone company. The Wife (W) was in her late 40�s, worked fulltime at the phone company and was pursing a master�s degree at night. Their two children had moved away from home and were in college. So everyday, W worked, went to school, did homework and all the household duties. H, on the other hand, hung around all day kicking it with his friends at the local caf� or hardware store etc. He would putter around in the yard, do minor repairs on the vehicles and take care of the pool. But, mostly, he hung around gossiping with the neighbors. Eventually W got really fed up with this arrangement and demanded that they split the household duties evenly between them. (That still doesn�t sound so fair to me with her working and going to school, but that was their agreement.) Everyone was happy and the new agreement seemed to be working until the day when W came home early and unexpectedly, and discovered another woman in their house. W, completely outraged, asked the woman who she was and why she was in her house. The other woman calmly told her that she was the maid and H had hired her to do some housekeeping. To say that W was livid would be an understatement. Especially when H said �you didn�t say that I had to do the cleaning, only that I was responsible for making sure my half got done� which he followed with a hearty chuckle. She promptly went and purchased vanity license plates that said IMAJERK and put them on his truck. And, she was still mad. Earlier this evening as I was browsing through Sooner�s archives, I came across his entry entitled pixie dust. Now THAT is funny! And so is the rest of his diary.
