Today’s Daily Prompt subject is “Trading Places”. To wit: “Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a member of the opposite sex for a day? What do you think life would be like?”
Well, actually I have. And I think a typical day would go something like this:
6:00 AM – Get up to go to market early for freshest fruit to fix hubby’s fruit cup.
7:00 AM – Arrive home to fix fruit cup, begin eggs Benedict and grind beans for fresh coffee.
8:00 AM – Gently wake hubby and start nice hot bath for him. Have freshly ironed clothes laid out for him.
9:00 AM – Enjoy nice breakfast. Remain quiet so as not to disturb hubby as he reads paper. Clean dishes and tidy up kitchen.
10:00 AM – Finish polishing hubby’s golf shoes for his round today. Make sure to pack nice lunch for him and slip it in his golf bag along with love note.
12:00 PM – Pick up hubby’s clothes and straighten out his office. Take inventory of supplies to shop for so hubby doesn’t suddenly run out of anything.
1:00 – 3:00 PM – Shop for sweet little gift for the man of the house. Run to cleaners for hubby’s stuff. Pick up plenty of beer and snacks for hubby’s poker club this evening.
4:00 PM – Have icy mint julep waiting for hubby as he returns from grueling day on golf course. Tell him how much you love him no matter how poorly he played.
5:00 PM – Prepare pheasant under glass and escargot dinner. Try to do it quietly as hubby watches evening news.
7:00 PM – Put rose petals on bed and put perfume on lingerie for later.
7:30 PM – Greet hubby’s poker pals and cater poker game as necessary. Put out plenty of ash trays for cigars.
11:30 PM – Clean up from poker night and start dishwasher.
12:00 AM – Retire with hubby to make earth shake and heavens fall.
12:01 AM – As hubby falls asleep, start thinking about tomorrow’s meals.
Wow. That was exhausting. It really makes me glad I’m a guy.

That last time lapse really made me laugh 🙂
Patti is the perfect wife for you, Al. She knows how to keep you in line.
I didn’t know you were into writing fantasy fiction, Al. Good job! What’s next, a novella on dragons?
What about my post makes everyone ridicule me so? Was it the pheasant under glass and escargot part? OK, if I changed that to sloppy joes, would that help?
Sixty seconds and lights out! LOL
You noticed that, eh?
You must have been spying on me. Shame on you.
Not that I don’t believe you, but I may just have to check with Mike. You know the conservative credo: “trust, but verify.”
You are asking for trouble, Al.
Things were getting a bit stale on the blog. Thought I would stir it up a bit. I’m disappointed at how mild the responses are.

Should make you glad you’re a DREAMER!!
Just sayin’, if I were a woman…..to each his own.
I’d like to see Patty’s day if she were in your shoes. 😉
That’s just an evil comment.
You must be a pretty happy guy if this is how her day goes normally!!
Well, to be honest, sometimes she makes scrambled instead of Benedict.
Poor woman. Hopefully pope Francis will canonise her soon
Lol
I thought you guys moved to the beach, not Stepford.
You mean there really is a Stepford? How do I get there? Will Nicole Kidman be there?
Good one, Peg!
