Tongue in the Cheek Story
Surprise is probably a understatement for this story, but what is better then a surprise and a giggle afterwards. I started a conversation with Andrew, never had a conversation with him before, telling me that he is from a smaller town. He said that he enjoys living in a regional town, city life is not really for him. The next question was to learn more about Andrew’s life in smaller town. I ask Andrew what is he is doing for work, telling me that he is a builder and builds houses. I ask him how long is he doing that, Andrew’s response was: “I started off small and today I am successful”. He told me he started the business when he was in his twenties and now he is in his early forties. Working hard and never been married. Andrew said that he is living comfortable now, he could afford to build a big house for himself. I thought to myself, to be on your own, working hard, living in a big house, I wonder who is cleaning the house? I ask him: ” living in a big house, working hard, who is cleaning your house?” He said; “I get a cleaner in every week who cleans the house”. A little of a pause in the conversation and then Andrew responded; “I also pay her for extras”. I thought to myself, I did not ask for all that information. I must admit I was surprised to hear that, but act if every is normal. Then Andrew responded again; “this is working for me. I do not like to hang out at pubs and nightclubs and the cleaner is fine with our arrangement as well”. Many questions went trough my mind, I wonder how did the extras started? Then he said; ” I think it is working for both of us, because none of us had ever said anything about it. I ask him; “how long are you doing this?” He responded; “two years” .Then he said; “sometimes I feel guilty about it.” I ask; “why?” Andrew said because I know her husband. I was even more surprised, but did not say anything and did not show any emotions, only more questions went through my mind. I was wondering what does the cleaner tells her husband about the money that she makes. Probably say to her husband; look how much money I made today from cleaning. I thought might be it is good for her marriage and I am still wondering….
