The sugar and me
SO, SOMETHING JUST HAPPENED
Working from home - took a break .
Took my weight. No reduction at all . In fact 100 gms heavier .
Irritated and frustrated.
Decided to eat breakfast . Was ravenous .
So I had 2 slices of pizza left over from the order last night . It was more yummy that earlier . It always is, isn't it ?
Felt good and very satisfied. Thank you "Pizza - to go"
Greasy hands ensued ( obviously )
Went to make tea to wash down the grease. Was told recently that it is why people drink Chinese tea after meals .
" Why am I bringing China into this" ?
Okay - Tea was invented in China around 5000 years ago. ( Google)
( Now I never let anyone make my tea ) except the office boys in the schools I visit ( obviously again ) . No one makes tea the way I like it !
Reached to pick up the sugar container from the shelf above . I am not exactly what one would term as tall .
It slipped and fell on the counter top . "O M G" say I.
There is a sound of something falling ...crashing with a thud.
About 250 gms of sugar spill on to the kitchen counter and some more on to the floor .
I move back in panic to survey the scene - its a mess
( obviously ) and that is an understatement .
Its all over .
"Damn you sugar - can't you stay in one place when dropped" ?
On hearing the noise , the wife enters - ( obviously )
Her mother follows . ( Please help me Lord)
Women's ears always pick up such sounds ( Obviously again )
Then there are looks, clicks of the tongue and sarcastic remarks - mark you and mark you well - not a fight - not an argument - just as mentioned - irritated sounds made by clicking the tongue .
No fight , so I could not fight back ! Not that i would win in any case . Just those odd, incredulous looks and sounds .
Mark you - she didn't look at me even once - only at the sugar !
To add fuel to the fire this is what I said " Men are not good at picking up anything like sugar"
Working again and staring hard at the computer !
I wonder what she is cooking for lunch ? I dare not ask right now.
Are men clumsy ? .
