What you would have heard last night if you were watching “Big Love” with me and Patrick.
“I just can’t imagine what a stressful way of life that must be, keeping up with all those wives and kids.”
“I know, right? Imagine having THREE MORE of ME!”
“I’m sorry… what? I think I just blacked out from post-traumatic potential stress disorder.”
“No seriously though Patrick, if you ever do decide to find an additional wife can you PLEASE make sure she cleans?”
“Like… you want her to do floors?”
“No. YOU do floors. I want her to do windows. And kitchens. And laundry. And dusting. And dishwashers. She doesn’t have to cook but if she could clean up the kitchen afterwards I would appreciate it.”
“I’ll file that one away for future reference in the oh-so-likely event that I acquire an additional wife.”
“Seriously. Tell her I’ll totally pay her.”
“Wouldn’t that make her a hooker?”
“Only if she does it naked.”
“Fair enough.”

Yes, I love that show, and my husband and I have had a VERY similar conversation. There is so much drama in that family, I know my husband couldn’t deal with it. Whenever something is wrong Bill just says “I’ll take care of it” but then doesn’t, really. Too funny!

You know what I love most about this post? The tag - “I am difficult.” We are soul sisters, for sure.

I am an absolute “Big Love” addict. Coming from Utah and being an ex-Mormon, I feel the show is really accurate.
As far as polygamy is concerned… what man in his right mind would want more than one wife?
I do, however, find the “date us” concept quite amusing.

I’m thinking that a second wife would be a much better deal for the wife, than the husband.
