Lynne scrubbed her husband’s brand-new coffee stain from the carpet as Dave barked instructions from the sofa. “Don’t forget to spray the remover, brush aggressively, then spray it again.”
Eight-year-old Arielle wrinkled her forehead. “Grandma, I’ve seen you clean stains off the carpet loads of times. Why is Grandpa giving you directions?”
Lynne looked up. “It’s called mansplaining, honey. Men can’t help it. It’s in their DNA.”
Arielle’s brother Max tapped her shoulder. “Sis, mansplaining is explaining things to women in a way they can understand.”
Arielle helped her grandmother finish up. Dave and Max shook their heads in unison. “Women!”
Another gem from you. Thanks for sharing!
very cute!! ty for writing 🙂
This made me smile ?
Ahhhh so true!
Love it!
Fun story, Peggy. If anyone needs it explained I’m happy to oblige!
Thanks Tom, but my husband already explained it to me.
Yes. It is there in their DNA.
Ha ha, cute
My house it is the other way around so I guess it is womansplaining for me.
My husband is also called John and he just told me to stop talking (I dared to utter one sentence) because I “am taking up too much airspace.”
Ha, that is funny, so great.
I think grandpa should be scrubbing the stain he caused! Great story!
ha! Nice. Dave and Max would be wearing the coffee if they tried that on me, lol! 🙂
Another great story!
