Erica’s pet peeve was her husband’s constant use of the words “and whatnot” after every sentence. “Honey, are you doing laundry today—and whatnot?”
After twelve years of marriage, Erica calculated she heard that term over fifty thousand times. Most days, Erica was only mildly irritated: between their jobs and commuting, they were lucky if they spent three hours a day together.
Due to the Coronavirus, they were now working from home and spending twenty-four hours a day together, so when Bob asked, “Honey, what are you working on—and whatnot,” her computer screen read, ‘Fifty Ways to Murder a Husband.’
This is really funny. Even more so, considering it’s what many families are experiencing now.
Good story cute
So funny and true!
Very funny!
I feel this one – great story. 🙂
I love it. I have someone in my family who overuses that very phrase. Very well written.
Thank you everyone for the lovely comments.
Chuckled at the end.
Deserved it!
Very Good, whatnot. No, really. It was very good. And that’s a lot coming from your wounded brother ???
