Husbands!

Hero has decided that he needs to lose 5 to 10 pounds. He has also decided that the way to do this is to do PT five days a week instead of three. Because of this he has a night time ritual of packing his PT bag before he goes to bed. Tonight we had an interesting conversation.

Hero: Have you done any laundry this week? (As he trips over the mounding laundry basket that I asked him to carry down the two flights of stairs three days ago.)

Mama: No. All the laundry was done by your mom before she left on Tuesday. Why?

Hero: No reason. (As he is rummaging through his sock drawer obviously looking for something. Then proceeds to trip over that basket, again.)

Mama: You are obviously looking for something, how can I help you?

Hero: It's okay. I bet that basket is all the laundry and is waiting for me.

Mama: Yes, how much do you think that basket weighs? (I ask this to see if he will catch a hint)

Hero: More than you should be carrying right now. But don't worry about it. (He says this as he begins to dig through the basket for a suitable pair of running socks, sniffing as he goes. Ewww)

So where is that basket almost three hours later you ask? Still waiting by the bed. That is where it will probably stay until I can lift it.
