WHY WOMEN WASH THE DISHES THE SEQUEL

     We grew up with the story of Why Women Wash The Dishes? This is good news for a home with lots of women. But to our house that is full of men, we can never outgrow the fight on who is in charge with washing the dishes.  Is it my eldest Amos, my middle child, Amiel or my third son, Amen?  Scheduling worked at first.  Cheating overtook later. Complaining follows without end.  And most of the times, dealing and deciding on the complaint is more laborious than soaking one's hand in the sink.

   
     One night,  I was in the complaint corner again.  Tired and sick of the problem, I suddenly thought of giving them meal allowance.  Yes, meal allowance.  Di ba, ang gandang sequel ng kuwentong ito sa Why Women Wash The Dishes?   Ang title ay Why Men Feed On Meal Allowance?

 And the story goes like this: 

          Once there was a father who had three sons who were always fighting on who should wash the dishes.  The father made a schedule for the three of them which at first, worked.  But cheating overtook them later.  What followed was an unending complaint from the three sons.  The father begged them to cooperate with each other but no one wanted to give way.  They were not even moved by their father's sermon.  The problem went on.

       The truth was, washing the dishes was not the only problem that the father constantly faced.  Many times he felt stressed going to the market and thinking of what to cook and who will cook.

         One night, when he arrived home, the usual complaint met him in the house.  That night, neither begging nor giving sermon was heard  from the father.  What he did was to give them a monthly meal allowance.

         Since then, the father ceased from frequenting to the grocery to buy food and thinking who will cook.  He stopped worrying anymore about his sons meal every time he came home late.  Finally, begging, preaching and complaining were never heard anymore inside the house of men who feed on meal allowance.

          And they ate happily ever after ....

Di ba parang fairy tale lang?  What could be my next post?  Pwede ring Why The Blogger Left His Readers?  It's been seven months of hiatus.  I am back and I am starting over again:-)
