Men, bah... Homens, arght!

I bought this gorgeous tree, from a lady who is leaving the island this month.

The plant is impressive - for it's beauty and it's size. It is huge! And does not fit in my car, so I need Fabio's car and good will to go and pick it up.

Did I mention I bought the plant over a month a go?

This gives you an indication on how we are going on the good will front...

Today we finally went there, and managed to put the tree in the car, after lots of pushing, pulling, dragging and squeezing.

When we left the car park, I asked my husband:

- Did you get the plate that goes under the planter?

- uh? No, I did not.

And pressed his foot to the accelerator, to make it clear he was not going back for the plate.

I smiled, not because I was happy, but because after 15 years of marriage I knew the only way I could get the plate was with a big tantrum. And then I would have to manage his long face all night long.

Men, grrrrr

Comprei uma planta linda...ha mais de um mes.

O problema e que a danada e grande, nao cabe no meu carro e eu precisava da ajuda do meu maridinho querido, para pega-la.

Depois de muita negociacao, ele foi la comigo hoje.

Pegamos a planta ( que e enoorme), arrastamos, levantamos, puxamos, empurramos e finalmente conseguimos coloca-la no carro.

Assim que saimos do estacionamento do predio, eu perguntei:

- Fabio, voce pegou o pratinho que vai embaixo do vaso?

- Eu? Nao, nao peguei.

E meteu o pe no acelerador, pra eu nem pensar em pedir para ele voltar.

Depois de 15 anos de casada, eu ri. Nao ri por achar engracado nao. Ri por que sabia que se eu tivesse um xilique, surtasse e comecasse a espernear, ele voltaria para pegar o tal pratinho, mas eu ia ter que aguentar cara feia a noite inteira.

Resumo da opera: amanha tenho que sair e comprar outro, ou atravessar a ilha para buscar esse, que ficou na portaria do predio.

Homens, grrrr
