Lucky YOU…a bring back blog.
My bro-in-law has created a division of labor for married couples. Before he does anything, he must determine if the work is considered bull work or squirrel work.
Bull work is done by the man…heavy lifting, mowing lawns, cutting down trees, shoveling snow…you know the big physical jobs. Squirrel work is smaller work and done by the woman….scheduling appointments, cooking the dinner, washing the dishes, vacuuming the floor, dusting the furniture…need I say more.
The only problem with my brother-in-law's “rational thinking” is that PaulA is totally on board with it. So for instance, da wife (uh, me) should do jobs like the laundry, because that has “squirrel work” written all over it. BUT if I needed the washing machine moved…yup, that’s bull work. Squirrel work is ironing the clothes and hanging them in the closet. Bull work is building a new closet. Getting the picture?
A very interesting thing about bull work is that sometimes bull work requires other bulls to get together to do it. The bulls congregate, put their bull heads together, maybe get a case, just in case they get thirsty…and talk about how the bull work should be done.
I can’t figure out what I dislike most about Squirrel work. Is it the actual jobs in the squirrel category? Or that I could resemble a gray haired, bushy tailed squirrrel?
Currently, I have a bull work and squirrel work dilemma. It’s time to take Sweet Wishy, who is learning to drive, out on the road. Hmmmm….would this be bull work or squirrel work? It’s a hard one…but I know one thing….all bulls and squirrels should head for the hills!!!
