Pinked

Honey, I'm home!! Did you miss me at all?
Where are you?
Yoo-hoo, anybody home??

Have you been extra good, and mmmm
the house seems so fresh and clean, wow!

Did you eat right? 
A-mazing! You actually washed the dishes! 
I think I should leave you more often!

Where are you anyway??

My, you even watered the plants!!
Are you for real? 
Or were you abducted by aliens??

Everything's just so dust-free...
and you changed everything,
even our white curtains!

You switched them to Red??
But I am not really liking it...
but at least it's not pink. 
I HATE pink.
Sorry hun, you know I love white.

Which reminds me,
Did you remember to do the laundry?
Did you remember to leave the whites ALONE?

Honey!! Gosh can't you speak up louder?
Where are you anyway?
I feel like I am talking to the wind here...
and what is that sound???

Ok, I'll follow there in the basement
what are you doing there anyway??
Shucks, the smell of detergent--
it's so overwhelming, hunny bun.

What's this hanging on the doorknob?
PINK shoelaces??
Where'd this come from??

DOOLEY!!! What the HECK have you done???
Are you for real?
I think you've been abducted by aliens!!

You touched my WHITES.
ALL of THEM??
even my shoelaces??
and you washed them with those
darn RED curtains????

Enjoyed this read, put a smile on my face. I also like your style, the reader becomes a voyeur listening in to a private conversation.
