We Always Wanted a Wife My Husband and I

We always wanted a wife, my husband and I. He wanted one he could order about. Laugh. Snort. Snarl. Growl…. I wanted one to do the dishes. We always envisioned her as willing to help, my husband and I. He wanted her to do his bidding, carry his food to him on trays. Snort. Chuckle. Laugh. Throwing back my head in full wolf woman howl. I wanted her to vacuum the house. We always wanted a wife, to order about. To act as a maid, to cook us good food. To care about grocery shopping. My husband and I have had this dream for a long time. There have been no applicants. We lament about it sometimes, sighing deeply. Usually in the evenings when we are arguing about whose turn it is to feed the cat.
