I once luxuriated on a blanket of fragrant rose petals you scattered around our bedroom. Disillusioned, my hands protected by sterile latex, I now use metal tongs to gather skid-marked tighty-whiteys.

Love scene to “crime” scene! This is brilliant, Tara!

Oh, yes, Tara! Wait until the stench of the teen years. This speaks to the occasional monotony of monogamy. I despise laundry so I loved this!

Of all my household chores, I dislike doing laundry the most too.

This was great. We never see these things when we have our love tinted specs on!

Laugh-out-loud funny. Loved this piece, Tara and the slow change from rose-colored glasses to latex gloves.

I’d say the honeymoon is definitely over 😦 Laundry day, so aptly described here, is the reason I taught all of my boys to do their own laundry starting at age ten. I knew that once puberty kicked in, things would only get worse (and I am allergic to latex) 😉 Great take on the prompt!!

How far the plunge from candlelight and champagne (even if it’s cheap Asti Spumanti) to the laundry room. I hear ya, Tara.

Not autobiographical, the MR is exceedingly neat.
