Amanda Takes Off...

When Jennifer and Gym Guy arrived for dinner, Good Man and Gym Guy asked what they could do in the kitchen. Jennifer kicked them out. Earlier, Good Man had asked me what men do for Thanksgiving. I said sometimes they clean, but often they just watch TV and drink beer. We left the boys in my living room while we chattered away. "OK, let's heat this up...oh this looks delicious...how did you make that?"

Odd how quickly we fell into those roles.

Good Man had shown up earlier to help me out, but I was done with nearly all the cooking when he arrived, and my kitchen is small (small convention oven and a two burner gas range), so I set him to work instead.

"I need you to clean the bathroom. The sink, toilet, and that spot on the floor," I said, pointing.

"OK."

I turned my back for a minute, and when I turned around again, Good Man had his pants off.

"What are you doing?"

"I will get wet cleaning."

OK... Well, pants or no pants, he did a great job cleaning the bathroom. When he finished the bathroom, the dishes, the fridge, and the counters, he sat down on the couch.

"I like doing house things," he said with a nod.

I stared at him. How did I find this guy single?
