Husband: What are your plans for the day?
Me: I'm going to paint Daughter #1's closet - I should be able to knock it out in a few hours
*HEAVY SIGH*
Me: What?
Husband: Nothing.
So I go about my business, getting my paint clothes on, getting shit ready, gathering up the rollie thingie and plastic dealie and tape and other essentials. But WHERE is the paint?
Me: Where is the paint we bought?
*HEAVY SIGH. Lots of stomping*
1/2 hour later.....
I find the husband in the garage stirring the paint I had inquired about.
Husband: This paint is likely no good. It's glumpy.
Me: Does it really matter how good it is? It's going in a closet. Can I please get started?
*HEAVY SIGH*
..... So the husband helps paint because I'm too fucking stupid to use the rollie thingie and the brush dealie and all those other deadly tools that are required for painting.
Husband: You're doing it wrong.
Me: What? What am I doing wrong? Holding the rollie thingie wrong? I didn't know there was a right way.
Husband: No. You're supposed to cut in first, then roll.
Me: According to whom? I always do it this way.
Husband: That's why it always looks like shit when you do it.
Me: Really? Because I thought it looked like shit because you do a shitty job of cutting in and also because you're too chintzy with the paint. I had no idea that the order in which you use the deadly painting tools had anything to do with the outcome of the job.
Husband: Well, it does and you're doing it wrong and GOD DAMMIT now look at my shirt - It's fucking covered in paint.
Me: Well, why did you wear a non-painting shirt to paint in and why did you brush up against the wall in your goin' out t-shirt?
Husband: I don't get paint on myself so I wear anything I have.
Me: I don't. I wear a PAINT shirt - one that I don't give a shit if it gets ruined or not. And you did just get paint on yourself.
Husband: NO. I got paint on myself because you are doing it wrong.
Me: Okay Michelangelo, whatever you say.
I love weekend together time! It's so rewarding and fun to do home projects together!
