Me, coming down the stairs at midnight: “What are you doing?”
Husband: “Watching TV.”
Me: “Why is the oven on?”
Husband: “I’m cooking a frozen pizza.”
“Don’t forget to spray the pizza pan with Pam.”
“I’m not using a pizza pan. I can read the directions on the box, ya know.”
“Yes, but if you….”
“Honey, go back to bed. Got it all under control. I know what I’m doing.”
“Yes, but you need to…”
“I KNOW I am not doing it EXACTLY like you would do it. But there is more than one way to do things! I think I know how to cook a pizza!”
Me, coming down at 6:00 am:
“What are you doing?”
“Trying to get the burnt pizza off the oven rack.”
“Don’t forget to…”
“I’m using SOS pads.”
“But, the SOS pads will…”
“I know what I’m doing!”
30 minutes later:
“What are you doing?”
“Trying to get this stupid SOS residue off these blinds above the sink.”
I smile.
The window behind the blinds has been needing a good washing for a long time.
