I planned and cleared (with SWMBO) a brew day with a couple of buddies for last Saturday afternoon. I spent a good part of Saturday morning cleaning and organizing the kitchen, setting out the brewing equipment, and generally tidying the house after a busy work week.
I could tell something was off with my wife all morning and asked if anything was wrong. Got the typical couple of "no" answers until I finally pressed the question. According to her, I am only interested in cleaning the house when it is time to brew (which is actually not true). My snappy retort was: "Then you should let me brew more often." My daughter thought that was funny while simultaneously shooting me a "You did NOT just say that!" look.
Of course, I was kidding -- she pretty much lets me brew whenever I want. I meant it to be funny, but SWMBO was not amused. I like a tidy home, but it is not easy to maintain nor is it a day-to-day priority with both of us working full time. We usually get motivated whenever company is due -- like on brewing day. Fortunately, my daughter was able to help set the record straight.
Any one else get in trouble for cleaning the house? Seems sometimes we guys are darned if we do and darned if we don't.
