A little note for fun...
- Is your work going well?
- Perfectly! Oh, the boss of my company is abominable, but I have an excellent salary!
- Aren’t you married with your friend yet?
- No.
- I thought you were in love with him?
- Yes, I am, but I don’t want to depend on the money of a man.
- You prefer to depend on the money of a man you consider abominable, rather than on the money of a man you love?
- It is not the same. To earn this money at my boss’, I work. You stay at home, you do not work.
- Do you think that running the house, bringing up four children, and taking care of your husband are not work?
(Praecor)
