A middle-aged couple have just finished having lunch together in the kitchenā¦
The husband, now feeling the heaviness of his meal, heads straight for the couch.
Just as heās about to lie down, his wifeās voice cuts through the air like a whipā¦
āOh no, you donāt!ā she barks from the kitchen doorway, her arms crossed tightly over her chestā¦
āThe lawn looks like a jungle out there. Get off your lazy butt and mow the lawn!ā
The husband, already half in a daze from the food and the thought of a nap, snaps back, āJust give me 20 minutes. Iāll get to it after my nap.ā
The husband stubbornly eases himself down on the couch, his body sinking into the cushionsā¦
He kicks off his shoes, removes his glasses and places them on the coffee table with a sigh of exaggerated relief.
The wife knows that 20 minutes really means 2 hours and when he wakes up, he will just have another excuse not to mow the lawn.
So, she decides to take another approachā¦
āYou know honey,ā she begins, her voice no longer sharp but gentleā¦
āWithout your glasses, you look just like the same handsome young man I married all those years ago.ā
āWell,ā says the husband, still desperate to get some shut-eyeā¦
āWithout my glasses⦠ā
āYou still look pretty good too.ā
