lapse in communication
You know that thing where the wife is waiting to start dinner until the husband is finished building a chicken coop? And the husband KNOWS that the chicken coop cannot be built in one day but decides to keep working until the wife calls him in for dinner? That happened.
And also the meal was one that was somewhat labor intensive and compounded by the fact that the wife had started an alternate meal and then the husband brought home the missing ingredients from the original meal and the alternate meal that was going to be dinner got moved to lunch for the next day. And also compounded by the fact that the wife had never been the sole chef in the dinner meal (salmon cakes), but had only been the dishwasher and counter wiper while the husband was the actual chef.
The moral of this parable analogy narrative monologue is that while it is not in ANY way advisable, it is possible to simultaneously prepare pizza dough (alternate meal that was postponed to lunch the next day), 44 small salmon cakes (cooked half and froze half for another meal on another day), a spinach salad, and chocolate chip cookies. Please be advised that if this scenario plays out in your kitchen you might start to feel overwhelmed and sorry for yourself and the number of dishes that will have to be washed later. But then those feelings will be pushed aside because you get to eat cookies and talk about chickens with your husband.
That thing is real. And it could happen to you. But only if you are slightly redneck and have OCD ADD.
