THANKSGIVING AND THE MOP

While we were all sitting around talking this year after our Thanksgiving dinner we began telling about some of the crazy things we had done when we first got married. So they remembered what my husband done to me on one of our first Thanksgiving dinners.
Our family had met at our trailer for Thanksgiving dinner back in the 70's. We had just got married and being only 19 years old we were still kids. I had worked most of the time after school and on the weekends so I did not know nothing about cooking as my mom worked also and we really never cooked a lot of new things back then and we did not have Food TV network to teach use how to cook. It was just old time grub and mainly basic stuff.
Anyway we were having dinner at our house that year and my mom and dad and in-laws were all there helping cook. We were trying to get it all done before all of the rest of the crew landed in. lol.
My husband wanted a drink of cold water out of the fridge. So I gave him a glass and told him to pour some. I went on about doing what ever it was and he came back in the kitchen and said that the water tasted like Kool-Aid. I had cleaned the pitcher but it must have still left a taste in it so I told him to get the mop and just reclean it. I noticed he left the kitchen and never paid any attention to what he  did with the pitcher. My new Tupperware one. He was gone for a while and here he came back in the kitchen and said I can't get the mop down in the pitcher. Now what had he done, he had went outside, got my mop that I mop with and tried to stick it down in the pitcher to clean it. No he is not crazy, just did not know nothing about cooking or cleaning. It was my fault because the mop
I wanted him to use was my dish-mop which I had in my dishwater. They have never let us live that one down and that has been 30 years ago. So be carefual what you ask your husband to do in your kitchen. He still don't know how to cook, which he was always gone working in the coal mines during most of our marriage, and now is, To Over The Hill, to learn  lol. I think he can boil a egg and use the microwave and george foreman grill for a hamburger. Also fix a egg sandwich but that is about it. His excuse, if I learn how to cook now you will never do no cooking. Isn't that just like a man. Hay, I need a break sometime. But I still enjoy cooking and getting new recipes.
