A conversation between a husband and a wife.
Husband arrives home after work. Husband looks for wife.
“Honey? I’m home. Where are you?” – Husband
Husband finds wife on hands and knees in living room.
“What are you doing?” – Husband
“The dog threw up again. We just had the carpet cleaned and she threw up on it. I’m cleaning the mess up.” – Wife
“Oh. I’m sorry. She must have liked the smell of clean carpet.” – Husband
Wife wrinkles brow and looks at husband.
“I’m sure Rita never has to clean up dog barf on the carpet.” – Wife
“Rita? Who is Rita?” – Husband
“Rita Wilson…Tom Hanks wife.” – Wife
“Why are you talking about Rita Wilson. You don’t know her.” – Husband
“She and Tom were in the news recently and they sure looked happy. Rita always looks happy. She doesn’t look like she cleans up dog puke from a carpet. I bet she has a whole crew of people who clean messy things for her.” – Wife
“True. I doubt she has done any cleaning for years. Her husband is a big movie star who makes the big bucks.” – Husband
“Yeah. No cleaning. Must be nice. Bet she doesn’t have to cook dinner either. No cooking or cleaning…now that’s the life.” – Wife
“Come on. Things are so bad. Aside from the dog throw up we have a good life. We have great kids.” – Husband
“Rita and Tom have great kids.” – Wife
“Being a movie star’s wife must be a lot of pressure. You wouldn’t want that would you?” – Husband
Silence.
“Being in the movie business isn’t all glamor you know. Tom is probably away from his family all the time. Bet Rita wishes she had him home every night like you do with me.” – Husband (Big Smile)
“Yeah…I guess so.” – Wife
“I sure don’t envy Tom. Living in the public eye must be hard. No privacy. No siree. I like my life the way it is.”- Husband
“The ice maker in the fridge is broken. There was water all over the kitchen floor today. Oh and the our bathroom shower drain is clogged.” – Wife
“What? Home repairs never end.” – Husband
“I bet Tom never has to repair a broken ice maker and snake the drain before dinner.” – Wife

It’d be fun to live that life for a bit, nonetheless.
Yeah. Just a little glamor once in a while would be nice.
I was really following the conversation – was asking and answering right with you. For example, I thought who is Rita also.
Sometimes, it would be nice to be rid of the everyday stuff that affects us regular people.
Everyday duties are the worst. I am sure Rita and Tom have that too, but not very many. Sigh.
Darn those dogs. Darn those household chores and such that get in the way of us not have glamorous lives!
Darn dog is right. The clean carpet! I only have a small amount of carpet in my home and she had to barf on it. Right in the middle too. Household chores stink. I need a vacation from household duties.
Don’t we all! Loving your latest post – and loving the fact that I’ve nominated you for another blogging award

Thanks again Mellisa! I am honored to know you are still reading!
let me know how that works out for you and then send me the game plan so i can pass it long to my family
nice to meet you BW
Nice to meet you too. Thank you for stopping by.
All I am asking for is a maid to clean the bathrooms and do the windows and floors. That isn’t much, is it?
Not at all. All I ask is for someone else to clean up when the dog throws up on the carpet.
I somehow think I could adapt quite nicely to the Red carpet life (well for at least 2 years)…
This was a fun read
I could do the Red Carpet for at least five years. I always tell my husband I was meant for that life. Love all the perks and I can deal with the lack of privacy for a while…all a dream though.
Are you sure that’s not you and your husband in that picture? You have such a great life besides puke patrol!
You’re right, Lauren. We do have a great life, but a little more glamor sure would be fun.
Love the dialogue between you and your husband! It reminds me of my house – dog puke and all! Oh, to have a maid. That would be wonderful… Sigh.
