Pink
Underpants
Early
the next morning, Ethan was deep in thought.
“Melina,
you’re going to have to slow down soon, you know. You’re working full time and you do
everything at home. And the cooking. And the baking. You spoil me rotten.”
“Yes,
that’s my goal. A rotten husband.”
“Be
serious! Let some of this ride for a
while. I only want you to feel good and be
healthy. I don’t care about anything
else. I don’t care if I have to eat Chinese
take-away three nights a week.”
“I
care! And the baby and I have to eat
healthy.”
“Very
well then, how about the laundry. I can
do up the laundry. I know how to load
the machine and push the buttons.”
“Yes,
but how about sorting? The last time you
did the laundry, you washed our red beach towels with your white
underwear. Remember?”
“Yes,”
he laughed, “and I had to wear pink underpants, which really isn’t such a big
issue when one keeps one’s clothes on.
Melina, I insist. And I promise I’ll
sort. Whites from reds. Okay? No
more carrying laundry baskets downstairs.
Or carrying them back up. From
this moment on, I am in charge of all the laundry in this house. Agreed?”
“Agreed”
“I’m…
worried.”
“Ethan! I’ve never known you to worry about anything
in your life.”
“Well,
I am now. I’m worried about you, he
said.” She moved over and cuddled up in
next to him.
“You
dear sweet man, don’t worry.” He held
her close and kissed her head and her neck.
“I’m
afraid, Melina. I’m scared to death I’m
going to lose you.”
“You
aren’t going to lose me.”
