Listen To Your Wife Yo - Friday!
Good morning, it’s Friday! I’m not sure if I’m just getting used to the weather, or if it’s genuinely getting warmer. Probably the latter. Anyway, this is your daily PSA: men, just listen to your wives! Seriously, just listen to them.
We’re traveling in the next week, and my wife has been on my case about doing a few simple things. Just the bare minimum, she says. And I’m like, “Yeah, okay, I can do that, that’s easy.” But of course, I put it off as long as possible.
One of those things was to get pesos. So I go to the bank, and I’m like, “Yo, I need this many dollars in pesos.” And they look at me like, “Yeah, no problem, we can do that for you… in 10 days.” I looked at her, and I’m like, “Ma’am, my wife has been telling me to do this for the last month! I can’t wait 10 days; I’m leaving in a few days! Gotta hook me up!” She’s looking at me like I’m crazy. “It’s 10 days.” So I’m like, “Shoot!” Then I had to ask if there were any other places I could go. She gave me directions and I ran all over trying to find a place to exchange my money. I spent my entire morning running around.
All this to say, men, just listen to your damn wife! Now I gotta fix up the kids’ tablets and all this other travel stuff too. I’m not trying to complain, it’s really bare minimum stuff I should be doing. It’s just that I leave everything to the very end. Then, if I run into a problem, I’m like, “Ah, I wasn’t expecting that problem!” In my head, everything clicks and goes as planned, easy – I get it all done in a few hours. But the problem with the world is, nothing goes to plan. I should know that; that’s just the way everything is supposed to go. In Tech, we always say, “That’s expected,” but yet I still do it. I don’t know why.
So, men, most of you probably know this already: just listen to your damn wives! Get started early, and save yourself some embarrassment and save yourself time trying to troubleshoot things last minute. Peace!
