Two participants from the
Family Management course are chatting before the classes begin. Both
are married, but not to each other.
Man: You are not working, right? I mean not earning. So, your husband is
paying for this course?
Woman: Yes and he damn well should. I am doing this to handle his side
of the family. My in-laws are nutjobs.
Man: He actually asked you to join?
Woman: No, I told him straight that if he wants me to take care of his
children and his parents while he doesn’t even give a damn, then the least I
deserve is a professional training.
Man: Why doesn’t he give a damn?
Woman: Because he is busy. Or whatever. (Drinks water from a bottle).
And why are you really doing this course?
Man: (Thinks a little) Alright, I will tell you a secret. I am always
doing some course or other.
Woman: Really? What type of courses?
Man: That does not matter. Anything. I have even enrolled in computer
courses and acting classes.
Woman: Is this a hobby?
Man: No, it isn’t. I will be honest with you. I mean, why not? (Smiles) I
do these courses to stay away from my wife.
Woman: (Stares spellbound)
Man: Yeah, I know. Sounds crazy. But not that crazy once you get to know
my wife.
Woman: That difficult, huh?
Man: In a nutshell, you would like to stay away. But you cannot just
stay away. You will need to give a reason. Which is why I keep doing random
courses. And by God, am I glad I chose this course!
Woman: (Smiles)
