Spoons

[MiloCollie]

I sometimes think my husband isn’t interested in my PMR but then this happened.

The other day I mowed our well overdue lawn. He came home from work, walked onto it and smiled and asked “how long did that take you?” I replied, “I don’t know I didn’t count I just kept stopping to rest because……”. He interrupted me and said, “because you ran out of spoons.” 😂😂

And how are you now? Had you got enough spoons left to cook his tea?

[MiloCollie in reply to PMRpro]

😂no he does tea. Don’t get me wrong he doesn’t expect me to do anything but he works six long days a week and I’m retired early so I potter where I can. Just doing a few bits of diy before decorators come soon.

I think I might have found some spoons to throw at him😅

You don't know the 'Spoon Theory'? See DorsetLady's reply below with link. He was being sympathetic!

I know I am being thick but I don't get it. What's with the spoons? Is it 'cos I'm of the male species...??!!
