This week's theme for Monday Listicles is 10 Things Husbands Should Do. I don’t have a husband. I have an “other” and he is significant. But I won’t marry him. Not right now, anyway.
Don’t get me wrong.
Every now and again, I browse wedding gowns on websites of the top
designers. Sometimes I peruse travel websites with Eiffel Tower destination wedding packages. I still have that little Disney Princess lurking
within, wanting a Cinderella ending.
However, what happens to ol’ Cindy and the Prince after the honeymoon is over?
The scenario is a long one, filled with in-law trouble,
financial woe, and infidelity. But, because
you came here for a blog post and not a novel, I’ll skip to the part where
Cindy emails a “to do” list to Charming.
Prince Charming’s To Do List
by Cinderella
I ~ Check on salaried positions in the castle for my talking mice.
II ~ Fire the servant who spilled gazpacho on my pastel pink gown.
III ~ Revoke my step-mother's and step-sisters' invitations to our 10th Annual Memorial Day Garden Party.
IV ~ Buy me a new horse.
V ~ Hire me a new horseman. (He must be between the ages of 25 - 30, in the height range of 6’ and
6’4”, and in fine physical condition.)
VI ~ Send messenger to Gucci boutique informing the head shop
girl that I will be arriving tomorrow promptly at 10 a.m.
VII ~ Don’t forget to have messenger give statement of credit to
Gucci boutique.
VIII ~ Fire the queen’s lady-in-waiting. (If you don’t, I’ll post those pictures I
found in your satchel on Instagram.)
IX ~ Hire the queen a new lady-in-waiting. (She must be between the ages of 50 - 65,
short, and stout.)
X ~ Please, please, please, start listening to your advisers and try reading over staff memos. (The Kingdom’s current decline is embarrassing to me. Possibly that lady-in-waiting being out of the castle will help?)
What do you think a husband should do?
