How To Wash The Dishes Without Making It A Speech

You wash the dishes without making it a speech by putting your hands in the sink and not narrating your goodness.

"O, tingnan mo, naghuhugas ako." That is not help. That is a receipt. The house already knows who is tired.

Why do men announce chores?

Because we were taught housework is extra credit. Extra credit wants a grade. Marriage is not a class. It is a shared sink.

What if you want credit anyway?

Want it, then swallow it. The credit is a calmer wife and a child who copies you. That is the grade.

What if the sink is not your "role"?

Roles that leave one person in soap forever are not culture. They are laziness with a folklore costume.
