I Should’ve Known Better
The sweat is dripping down my neck. I chug water to quench my thirst,but it doesn’t alleviate my heated body. Why did I promise my wife I’dplant the basil seeds today? Why? Because I’m an idiot and she knows it.If I have a heart attack, all she’ll care about is the garden.
I finally finish up and brush myself off. I can’t wait to feel the coolshower on my body.
“Did you finish up outside?”
“Yes, Dear, the planting is done.”
Now I know better than to have an affair with another woman in ourhouse.
