As soon as the newlyweds returned from their honeymoon, the young bride called her mother, who lived a couple of hours away.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow did everything go?\u201d her mom asked eagerly.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, Mother,\u201d she began, \u201cthe honeymoon was wonderful. The beaches were beautiful, the food was amazing, and my husband treated me like a queen.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat sounds perfect!\u201d her mother replied.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was\u2026 until we got home.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened?\u201d<\/p>\n
The bride sighed dramatically.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe moment we walked through the front door, he started using all these strange words I\u2019d never heard before. I didn\u2019t know what they meant, and I was too embarrassed to ask.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her mother grew concerned.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat kind of words?\u201d<\/p>\n
The bride lowered her voice.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe kept saying things like \u2018dusting,\u2019 \u2018vacuuming,\u2019 \u2018laundry,\u2019 \u2018groceries,\u2019 \u2018washing dishes,\u2019 and \u2018cleaning the bathroom.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
There was a long silence.<\/p>\n
Finally, her mother chuckled.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd what did you say?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI told him I\u2019d never heard such language in my life!\u201d<\/p>\n
Her mother burst into laughter.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo what happened next?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe smiled, handed me the TV remote, put on an apron, and started making dinner.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then?\u201d<\/p>\n
The bride laughed too.<\/p>\n
\u201cI realized I\u2019d married the right man\u2026 but he quickly realized he\u2019d married someone who still had a lot to learn.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her mother smiled and said, \u201cWelcome to married life, sweetheart. The honeymoon lasts a week\u2014the chores last forever.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
