It’s Not A Question?

My wife is lovely. Next subject. She goes to the farmer’s market every Saturday morning after breakfast. This morning, after breakfast, she asked, “Are you going to the market?” For rookie husbands, this is not a question. “Of course”, I say. “Right after I do the dishes.” This is a sign of experienced husbanding. I know that what she is really asking is; “when are you going to the market?” Also unstated, is the declaration that she is staying home to rest her sore knee, and since she is not going to the market, I should go to the market since our family must be represented in supporting our local farmers. The, “after I do the dishes”, comment demonstrates my experience in not only understanding that no question was asked, but that I deserve brownie points for doing the dishes as well. You can see how I am setting myself up for success.
