When Two People Have a Difference of Opinion
The Best Way Is Not Always Easily Accepted
It's that time again
Putting away all the summer clothes
From tank tops to shorts
Bathing suits to short pajamas
Bringing out those heavy winter jackets, gloves, hats etc.
We have limited room
So we store them in plastic containers
One on top of the other
In the back room
Then we fill our suitcases with jackets and light blankets
Tuck them in their own closet
I noticed my wife laying the clothes in the containers
Opened up wide and laying flat
I use to fold them in half and stack them up and down
I mentioned to my wife they take up too much room
So now we need three containers instead of two
She said there is no difference
I wasn't going to win
So I said o.k.
I will wait till later and reorganize
I let a few weeks pass
Then I decided to do what she didn't want to do
To my surprise the clothes took up about the same room
Easier to find and get in a pinch
I figured I would tell her
In a nice way
The way you had the clothes
You can't find anything
It is better to pile them up neat
On top of each other
I opened up the plastic containers
Judgement day
She looked at me and said with no hesitation
O.k.
That was it
She didn't care and it didn't matter at all
Now we both are happy as before
I don't get it
When she once stood firm
Now she could less about
I will never be able to figure her out
