I’m not sure how one grown man can leave so much mess behind him.
My mother tried to tell me how men change when you get married, but I wasn’t expecting this.
His mother always said what a good boy he was. She told me he always cleaned up after himself. I didn’t realize she followed around behind him and told him what to pick up and how to do it. Once he got away from his mother, he suddenly went from a good boy to a slob of a man. He didn’t even put his own clothing into the hamper. I wondered if this was the way he left the houses he worked on? He was an HVAC technician and I knew he was in and out of people’s houses all day long. Did he go in to fix a furnace and left dirty rags laying in their basement? If he was working on an air conditioning unit, did he leave the old fan blades or the junk from the condening unit, laying in the grass? I wondered about quite a bit. Then I wondered if I should start nagging him like his mother did. If I started doing that, would I need to follow him around when he was on his job? Would I need to tell him to clean up after himself when he was working on a furnace or air conditioning unit? I decided it would be best if I talked to him about his slovenly habits. He said his mother told him that when he got married, his wife would do all of those chores for him. I wanted to go over and scream at his mother. I couldn’t believe she had raised a man who really believed her bull.
