Oh, yes!! I totally know what she’s talking about!! When my husband starts doing nice stuff that he doesn’t ordinarily do, I know he’s been up to something!!!
Two negatives equal a positive. A positive and a negative equal a negative. A negative and a positive equal a negative. But never do two negatives equal a positive . . . . . Yeah, right!
Freaky Friday! She should be sitting in his chair waiting for her lunch to be delivered on a TV tray with no concern how it got there or how it will be cleaned up afterwards.
I sometimes put on an apron before washing my big, awkward fridge picture so I don’t splash my front, but why is Earl wearing one to vacuum, do laundry, and iron?

Don’t be that way Opal. Earl is just being nice helping you around the house. Yea right.

Opal, at least he’s working off his debt. Don’t complain so much.

He’s lucky her question isn’t “So who is she?!?”

Who is this man doing housework in Earl and Opal’s house and what has he done with Earl?

The other option is “What did you do, and how much will it cost to fix it?”

Traded the Studebaker off for a Camaro Convertible?

“Sorry Opal, I ruined your favorite dress at the club last night”, Earl confesses.

If this was Foxtrot, $600 Big Bertha.

Earl is pre-emptively guilty. That’s how Opal rolls.

Usually, it is the woman that tries to make nice after spending a bundle on that new outfit.
DawnQuinn1 over 3 years ago
Considering that HE earned it, I think he should have some say in how it is spent. Opal never worked a day in her life.
cracker65 over 3 years ago
I think Earl is just messing with Opal. He reaction was just what he was looking for. I’ve things to get a reaction. Haven’t we all?

Hell, even I was thinking that!
ANIMAL over 3 years ago
WoW…….. Can’t a guy just help out once in a while without being accused of messing UP..?
Zebrastripes over 3 years ago
Hmmm! Earl is up to no good….either he wants Opal to do HIM a favor or he’s about to buy a new TV!

there goes the excuse that he doesn’t know HOW to do any housework!

When hubby acts this way he’s looking to help me save up energy for something a little extra :)
Ina Tizzy over 3 years ago
If only. Hubby controls the purse strings and buys whatever he “needs.” You don’t have to apologize for buying things you “need.”

It’s just a small HO scale train set – with some extra track and a few buildings and a bridge…you know, for bonding with Nelson.

Think bigger! Earl ordered a mail order wife to replace Opal.

It would serve Opal right if Earl is completely innocent because it would be a long time before she could complain again about his behavior.
Natarose over 3 years ago
You know Opal, you complain about him NOT helping. Just sit back and enjoy your relaxation time. I didn’t realize she was so paranoid.
