After the usual introductions, I told my wife who @galenkp was and
@galenkp who the partner in front of me was, and without any further words,
@galenkp asked my wife:
Can you tell me if your husband helps you with household chores or do you have to be pushing him to do things or help him?
What does he like to do and what doesn't he like to do?
If you had to rate him on a scale of 1 to 10 which one would you give him?
What don't you like about his performance in household chores?
In this situation my wife was hesitant to see that a person she hardly knew was asking her that number of questions, but, without hesitation and without mincing words, she answered her:
After almost 26 years of relationship my husband has learned that chores should be shared. I must say that what he has always done willingly and that most of the time he does it is cooking.
the author and his wife
This is something he enjoys and is better at than me. Apparently she was influenced by her mother who was a cooking teacher.
However, other household chores were hard for me to get him to do, but I can say that he helps me with the laundry because he is the one who rinses the clothes and hangs them up; at home he does the dishes and cutlery after each meal. But, he is very reluctant to go to the bodega because he doesn't like it and it bothers him to clean the rice. In the same way, we have to push him to fix the things that break at home. That would be something I would ask him to improve on and I would rate him a 7.
After we finished, my wife said to him:
Now it is my turn to tell you what my husband has wanted to do with you in a day over there in your country. These are the 7 things he told me he would ask you to do:
He has told me it would be a day of adventure, in full contact with nature away from the city,
He would like to test the firearms you have and see the quality of them,
Another thing would be to go through the places of this adventure riding in the carriages that you have,
He has confessed to me his interest for you to show him the coral reefs of Australia which are the most important in the world and of which he has spoken so much in his Geography classes,
in the beach
He cannot leave his island continent without visiting a park or nature reserve where he can admire the rich flora and fauna of the country and see two animals that have always caught his attention: the platypus and the kangaroo,
Although it would not be possible, at least in a single day and with such a full agenda he would like to visit the two venues that Australia has had in the Olympic Games (Melbourne 1956 and Sydney 2000) due to his great passion for sports,
As a courtesy I would ask him to let her cook everything that would be tasted by you and, to prove the quality of his cuisine.
When my wife finished @galenkp looked thoughtful, waved and left. At least I thought so, but I woke up and could only see my wife sleeping next to me with a smile on her lips, as an accomplice of a fascinating weekend dream.
