Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 14, 2021

She should move forward a bit, and, when he steps on the stove, she should cut it on and run.

If he did that in my house, he’d be wearing whatever is in that pot. Besides, standing on the counter is unsanitary and dangerous. You could “fall” “accidentally”.

Micromanaging is one thing, but doing it from an elevated position is just too much.

Carol should take this opportunity to “sharpen” her knife-throwing skills.

He doesn’t understand not to mess with someone that can do you GREAT bodily harm! That’s the third spoon she’s broken in that pot so far! (Pot handle is a little bent!)

Give his ankle a right cross.

This is beyond micromanaging.

Back many years ago, I think they used to call them “time and motion men.”

That’s not what cross bearing means.

Intolerable….

Always a key to a healthy relationship.

Gene’s idiosyncrasies may just be Carol’s karma catching up with her. Payback is a b****.

Turn about is fair play. Carol’s commentaries on Gene’s lawnmowing were getting a bit old.

Gene has no idea what micromanaging is?

She will be happier when the royalties from the book start rolling in, could even be a TV series.

Over the years at the local supermarket, I’d see these poor women who have been doing the family shopping perfectly well for years, and, suddenly, the husband is retired and following her around while mansplaining and micromanaging everything. I wanted to go after him with a baseball bat, but the local supermarket didn’t sell them.

Well, duh! She is stirring in the wrong direction!

Gene has to learn not to cross the she-bear. Carol’s next move should be sharpening the knives.

I’ve been thrown out of the kitchen before. Gene should be forewarned.

Carol doesn’t mind Gene standing on the counter?
