“Hey, don’t
blame me.
It wasn’t my
fault.
How was I supposed
to know
That the butler
was going
To rob us?” she
asked.
“Well, maybe
you should
Have done a
better
Background check
or
Maybe not show
him
Every part of
the house,”
He explained in
a
Condescending tone.
“I did not show
him every part
Of the house.
Only the kitchen, the
Bedroom, the
bathrooms, and the
Laundry room. He
must’ve
Snooped around
when we weren’t
Home. Honestly,
it wasn’t my fault,”
She snapped
back, nose turned up in the
Air.
“Don’t talk to
me that way!
You should’ve kept
an eye on
Him when he was
working,
Making sure he
wasn’t doing
Anything fishy.”
“Me?” she asked,
surprised by
What she was
hearing. “How
Come you,
yourself, weren’t
Capable of
keeping an eye on
Him? I’m always
Driving to
work, taking
The kids to and
from school,
Buying groceries.
I’m always out
The house. You
could’ve
Supervised that
butler”
“Why did we
even need a
Butler in the
first place? We
Were just fine
before.” The
Man held his
hands together
As a business
man would in
A conference.
She rolled her eyes.
“I clearly need
help around this house.
That’s why I always
asked for you
To aid me in
chores and housekeeping.
But did you help
out? Not at all.
Do you see why
I needed a butler in the
First place?”
She questioned him with an
Air of
exasperation.
“I knew you
needed help and I was
Going to
surprise you this weekend
By cleaning up
the whole house
While you were
out shopping.” He
Crossed his
arms.
“Were you
really
Going to do that?”
“Of course,
dear. Do
I really seem
like the type
Of man who
would leave
His wife to do
all the dirty work?”
“Never stopped
you before.
You are that
type of man,
You’ve been
that type of man
For years now. You
always say
You’d help
around the house, but
You never do. Our
kids, who
Are barely in
middle school,
Help out more
than you do
And you call
yourself the
‘Man of the
house.’”
“I am the
Man of the
house.
I pay the
bills,
I help the kids
with
Their homework,
and
I fix whatever
is broken
In this house.
I’m really
Busy, too, if
not
Busier.
Maybe, if
You had let me
Handle the
butler matter
Instead of
having it all be
On you, we
wouldn’t
Be in this
situation.”
He crossed his
arms, and
Had the
slightest smirk on
His face as if
he won the
Argument.
“I told you
that
I wanted to
hire a
Butler, but you
tossed
Aside the idea.
I really
Needed help so I
decided
To hire one
anyway.
You always told
me
To deal with my
own
Problems whenever
You were too
lazy to
Do anything
that required
You to think.
So don’t
Patronize me. I
did what
I thought was
right. Can
You say the
same
Thing?”
He narrowed his
eyes.
“You never used
to talk
To me like this. What
Happened to
being
A team? We used
To get along so
well.
What happened?”
“I don’t know.
What did
Happen? But don’t
try to
Stray off topic
and
Make me seem
like
The bad guy
here. I
Know we both
Contributed to
This situation,
but it’s
Obvious that
you
Contributed more.
Don’t try to
argue with
Me on this
point. You know
It’s true.” She
spoke surely.
