From a Wife's Perspective

My frustratingly obstinate hubby Drives me crazy Always loudly fixing the unfixable Without any success. He kept on tinkering stubbornly Under the kitchen sink Despite my fervent plea to... "Just call the plumber already!" True to form, he dismissed me with... "No need, sweetie. I'll fix this, trust me."... I told him, "But babe, it's worst off now!" Even my daughter sided me on this. "Dad, I actually agree Mom," she told him "I think you should call it in," she added. But did her advice penetrate? Of course not! "No need, pumpkin. I know what I'm doing," He says to her, emphatically. How typical of him. The following day, He's still scooping water out of the sink With a salad bowl. My daughter says to him, "Dad, how about calling the plumber? And then I said... "Hon, why don't you ever listen to us?" He finally calls the plumber With my side eye trained on him.
