Window cleaning dispute

A normal Saturday morning. The coffee is on the table, it smells of fresh bread.

The little household ...

The world was fine for author Svea Ninke. But then her friend suddenly looked out the window ...

ER: (worried) We'll have to clean again ... Look, when the sun is shining you can hardly see the trees because of the gray.

SHE: (insulted) Did not bother you until yesterday.

ER: What does it mean ... that was not a reproach. We can also clean up together.

SHE: how together? You hold the bucket and I wriggle my arm while scrubbing?

ER: Nonsense, I'll do it. You are much smaller anyway.

SHE: That's not what it's all about. But you do not have to do a couple of doubles on three panes of glass. You pretend that we need to spit up the Versailles Hall of Mirrors.

ER: (annoyed) God, I did not say that. Besides, we have this puller in the car, with which it goes very fast ...

SHE: (emphasizes friendly) He has been completely upset for five years. If you did not notice ... And such a plastic slider makes stripes. With it you can shred your flycatch from your Volvo, here it brings nothing. Anyway, I do not feel like copying your rally stripes in the living room.

ER: Do not be so stubborn! I'm just suggesting how to do the easy.

YOU: Very easy ... You know that that will take hours again. YOU do not feel like cleaning the bathroom on Saturday.

ER: (louder) I would. But YOU always moan when I've missed some dust.

SHE: (outraged) That's not true! I think it's only better if everyone does what he is in a good mood. You are welcome to take away old paper and bottles, vacuum, get beds ...

ER: Are you crazy? I'll do it! Are we calculating now or what?

SHE: Who started the nagging?

ER: I just suggested cleaning the windows again!

SHE: Yes, just MAKE it, instead of playing the big Saubermann here!

ER: (pops the cup on the table and runs into the kitchen) NO PROBLEM, TREASURE. WILL BE DONE! (You hear: cabinet doors pop, water in the bucket, etc.)

SHE: Do you still have them all? We wanted to go to the Isar with Steffi and Rolf ...

ER: Go. I'll be back in 20 minutes.

SHE: (undecided) Hmm. Come on stop it. We go together and do that tomorrow.

Two Saturdays later at breakfast.

SHE: (looks out of the window) We'd really have to clean up again, sweetheart ...
