to braid a little girl's- hair for
i the- first time?- It's appalling,
'that's what it. is. Unless, maybe,
! you happen to be a rope splicer.
Well, while Mag directed and
Carol screamed and Albert
laughed, I did my fumble-finger-i
ed best. The finished product,
when I finally put the clips on
the pigtals and breathed again,
was :pretty sad. .'
After a few days of this, and
expecting a note irom Carol's
teacher saying something about
child neglect, I stepped into a ;
neighborhood barber shop and '
said "Joe, could you cut my little '
girl's hair?" He could and he
did and everybody was happy.
Odd Jobs
The braids were the most
dramatic, but only a small part
of my blitz education- in male
housewifery. Under Mag's sup
ervision; I make breakfast, fixed
the kids' lunch,, drove them to
school, did the dishes, picked up
the kids' wreckage of the night
before, made beds (you "just
pull 'cm together" when in a
hurry), fixed lunch, more dishes,
went to stores, got the kids from
school, fixed dinner, cajoled and
browbeat the kids into doing
their homework and taking
baths, more dishes, etc.
After a few days, Mag tried
working the washing machine
one-handed. That added hanging
wash to my. accomplishments.
Extra Cleaning Days
I learned we have extra-clean
ing days at bur housa every
week. Thursday, the kitchen,
bathroom and back porch floors
are- scrubbed rather tban given
a lick and promise. Friday is
general vacuuming day when the
furniture is moved and you find
the apple cores and candy wrap
pers discarded by the kids while
watching television.
I' learned and learned and now
I know I'll never come home
again and ask. airily. "What've
you been doing all day, .honey?"
