If You Give Your Wife a Candle Party...

Have you read the book, "If you give a mouse a cookie"?
I have my own version...

Some day my beloved might say "I'd like to throw a candle party!"
I would probably say..., sure!
Then she'd probably say, oh my, would you look at the fireplace!
It's so dirty, should we have it cleaned
so that the ladies and I can enjoy a warm fire as we look at candles?
I would say..., sure!
When the fireplace is clean, she'd probably say,
Oh my, would you look at the wallpaper in the dinning room?
It's so old and dirty, should we paint the walls red,
so that the ladies and I can take a break and enjoy wine and cheese?
I would probably say..., sure!
When the room is painted red, she'd say,
Oh my, would you look at the walls in the family room!
How can we enjoy the fireplace when they look so old and dirty?
Should we paint the walls green?
I'd probably say..., sure!
Once the fireplace is clean, one room is red, and the other is green,
she'd say...
Oh my, would you look at this kitchen!
It's so dark and sad, should we paint it yellow?
I'd probably say..., sure!
Then she would say, the house now looks great!
But would you look at those book shelves and the TV stand!
They are so old, and falling apart!
Should we get nice new and brown ones?
I'd probably say..., sure!
Now the walls are clean and red, green, and yellow...,
the furniture is new and brown...
Oh my, would you look at this carpet!
It's so old and dirty! Should we have it cleaned?
I'd probably say..., sure!
Now all is red, green, yellow, brown, and clean...
Oh my, would you look at the tired muscles and aching back
of my dearest hubby...,
should I give you a nice aromatherapy massage?
I'd probably say..., sure!

Just remember..., if your wife wants to throw a candle party..., run to Michaels and immediately buy 3 dozen candles!

Hector and Angie, this is so funny! This is so true about home parties. Sadly, this is exactly why I don't get to have parties in my home. HA! Then there would be the added worry of the children's rooms. The kids always want to show off their rooms, no matter how cluttered or "unmatching" the rooms might be.

This is wonderful, Hector, and I love that you are so compliant to your wife's wishes. God Bless you both!

Thanks for the comments. It was easy to agree with her because the truth is that we haven't upgraded much in the house for many years so the rooms were defintely in need of a face lift. God blessed me with the personality that I don't notice anything wrong, so I'm glad she notices when it's time to clean or paint things. We are pretty much done and the house looks so pretty now!

I've found myself in similar situations; except that I didn't get a massage!

Well, Steve, what can I say... I lucked out, but maybe you can negotiate it the next time... :)

This is great! Some pics of the new look would be nice. :)
