The Woman Who Doesn't Care

This is how she thinks, the woman who doesn't care:
"There are only ten meatballs left.  Okay, well, if I only take two that will leave eight for him, which should be okay.  I don't really need them, any way."

And:
"Oh, how I would love some corn on the cob.  but he doesn't like corn on the cob.  I guess I'll cook green beans, instead."

And:
"I haven't roasted a chicken in a while, and I am craving it...but...he says he hates chicken...so...well...something else for dinner then.  Maybe I can make chicken when he's not here one night..."

And:
"I really want this book...haven't had a new one for years...but...if I buy this, then he will not have money for beer.  Oh, well...I can always try and find a book at the library if I can make it over there."

And:
"Oh, my shoes are worn so thin I can feel everything through the soles.  Thirty dollars for a new pair...whew...but then he won't have the new glass carboy he's been wanting...well, these shoes will last another year..."

And:
"I need clean clothes, but there's only a little bit of detergent left.  I guess I can wait...the kid need clean things and he needs to run a load of socks..."

And:
"I'd really like a little time for myself...but I am working this weekend and he'll have to watch the kids, so I can't ask him to watch them now because that wouldn't be fair, so I will just take them with me and give him a little respite before the weekend."

And:
"I'm so tired...and I got to bed later than him because there were all those dishes to do and I wanted to write a little and I can only do that when the kids are in bed, but he's asleep and the baby's up, so I'll get up with her and let him sleep a bit more, and maybe I can catch a nap with her later..."

But don't let what she thinks, says, or does fool you - he says she doesn't care so often, it must be true.
