Taking Calls Outside
Married life has its privileges. Kids for example. Delightful little human beings that hug, climb and smile for no reason. Guaranteed pillow mates, is another advantage.
Married life also means caution, like phone calls that are not family related but buzz in, when man and wife try to nudge quality family time. Husband excuses himself to take the call outside. Wife knows it’s forbidden fruit but what can she do? Marriage is for better or for worse.
Taking the call outside is for two reasons. Husband doesn’t want wife to know that it’s a contraband call. He’s taking it outside because its potency might destroy his home, and image as a family man, which he needs for company functions and that promotion.
Taking a call outside hurts like crazy, especially for the full-time home maker. She knows the husband’s real happiness is outside because it is sterile. There are no toys on the floor and no kids fighting like Prince Williams’ kids. She knows he prefers perfect bodies with the delectable navel on show, not hidden by mounds of flesh, left overs from giving birth.
When the cell rings, she hopes he won’t take it outside, but if he does, she smiles and thanks her lucky stars that she is inside the house, not outside like the caller.
