Just the Right Thing to Say

We live with an old, deaf, blind and quite opinionated woman.

For weeks now, she has been telling me what a bad wife I am to my husband. 

If we have left-overs, I should make him a warm meal.

If I make him wait in town for me, I should be there to meet him.

If I ask him do some laundry (which I rarely do), I should be doing it.

And on and on and on....

A few nights ago it got to be too much!

Jamie:  Chris, I am a bad wife.  I didnt make your sandwhiches for you for lunch tomorrow.

Chris:   Jamie, you are not a bad wife, I can make my own sandwhiches.

Jamie:  Yeah, but if you do then Olga will just say how bad of a wife I am.

Chris:  Look at her, her first two husbands left her, I dont think she can tell YOU how to be a wife.

And that was just the right thing to say.
