I had my last English class at a university last week.
On that day, we had an English conversation session and I paired with one of my classmates, who is around her 50s. Her initials is “H”.
H: I want to recommend a foreign drama. It is on NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) and starts at 11pm.
Me:That’s interesting, but I usually go to bed before 11pm..
H:WHAT!?
Me:Because my boyfriend goes to bed very early, so I sleep early too.
H:I see. What time are you getting up in the morning?
Me:My boyfriend gets up at 5:30am for reading and studying. I get up around 7:30am.
H:Really! You sleep very long.
Me:Yes, I will be sleeping until my boyfriend wakes me up.
H:Wow. Who cooks breakfast?
Me:He does. After he wakes me up, I go straight to do make up. When breakfast is ready, he calls me.
H:You are so lucky! Who will wash dishes?
Me:He does. I need to set my hair after breakfast so.
H:Who will cook dinner then?
Me: The one who goes home first. Usually, he is off from work before me, so he often cooks.
H:!!!! How about cleaning your apartment?
Me:He does. He is very good at cleaning.
H:!!!!!!! How about laundry?
Me:Oh, I do laundry. But only folding. We have laundry machine with dryer. hahaha
After that conversation session, I realized that I should thank Jeff more, and I also realized that I should help house-chores more too.
Thank you, my love Jeff!!
Please do not misunderstand that he does many house-chores because I cannot do those things.
I actually can do everything.
I was living by myself for 6 years in Japan and U.S.
I just don’t do much just because they are too troublesome.
That’s it. haha
