Section 28 Reverse roles
Mary was married to a male chauvinist. They both worked full time, but he never did anything around the house and certainly not any housework. That, he declared, was woman\'s work.
But one evening Mary arrived home from work to find the children bathed, a load of wash in the washing machine and another in the dryer, dinner on the stove and a beautifully set table, complete with flowers.
She was astonished, and she immediately wanted to know what was going on. It turned out that Charley, her husband, had read a magazine article that said that working wives could be more romantically inclined if they weren\'t so tired from having to do all the housework in addition to holding down a fulltime job.
The next day, she couldn\'t wait to tell her friends in the office. «How did it work out?» they asked.
