[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 652446, member: 17461"] Here is a D H bathroom story. So, I had gone to visit the kids or something, and was gone for two weeks or a month or whatever it was. husband was home alone with the dog and the cat. When I got back, I learned we had experienced a tomato sauce can blowout in the kitchen, which was bad enough. But it also turned out that D H had learned, much to his chagrin, that he was messy in the bathroom. All these years, and we had been married like, thirty years at the time this revelation occurred to my D H, my own husband believed the toothpaste spots on the mirror were mine, or belonged to one of the kids. Though he never spoke of it, my D H could not imagine the fervor we must be employing simply to brush our teeth. Why we did not bother to clean the mirror, D H would wonder, as he completed brushing his own teeth [I]never once suspecting he was the source of the toothpaste dots now on the mirror[/I], was beyond him. During this visit? D H saw indisputable evidence of his own apparent tooth-brushing fervor on the bathroom mirror [I]though I was nowhere in sight.[/I] Note I did not say my D H cleaned the mirror. It was like he had watched in horror as the toothpaste spots collected daily and in the evening too, on the mirror, knowing full well [I]he was the one doing it.[/I] That was D H's first experience with the messiness of life as it relates to him. I had always cleaned the mirror (and the bathroom) every day, as many times a day as it needed it. (Mom at home, right?) Prior to living with me, D H had an Italian mother. He firmly believed that any mess he saw had been created by some less than cleanly character fortunate enough to live with D H anyway. That would be me. 75% rule. :O) Cedar [/QUOTE]
