He notices all shirts and T-shirts he hangs out are rearranged in the clothes line. He hangs them out by placing the clothes pegs under the armpits so that the marks left by the clips are not visible when the clothes are worn. He's been following this model for a good many years, ever since she first advised him. The rearrangement has now the shirts and T-shirts hanging out upside down, the clothes pegs fastening the garments from their lowermost open edge. He is puzzled. He raises the issue one afternoon, as casually as possible. She just decided to change the model, she says. They both smile - each a different smile - and keep hanging out their thursday wash.
A super blog piece, Toni, but I fear you let her off lightly. I mean, she might be paying somebody else to do her share of hanging up the washing. You need to know, my friend. Or perhaps a little bit of mystery is good for all relationships? :-)
