The Salt Returns
After three weeks, my partner has assumed his place back in the kitchen. And, the salt is back!
Last week, I wrote that our salt kept disappearing. I promised to tell you why:
Picture it….
Your partner is immobile, and he’s the one who normally cooks.
You cannot let your children starve so you take up the role of head chef.
You also assume his role as house manager.
In addition to your mom-jobs as dishwasher, kid-lunch maker, and rug vacuumer, you take over his jobs to grocery shop, cook, take out the trash, and ensure everyone has clean underwear.
You try to pay attention to everything but…
Amidst trying to throw meals together, instead of leaving it out, you put the salt in the drawer, the fridge, and your kid’s backpack.
You’re distracted…
And the salt goes missing.
