[00:00.00]Why I Want a Wife
[00:06.24]I belong to that classification of people known as wives.
[00:13.12]I am A Wife. And, not altogether incidentally,I am a mother.
[00:17.73]Not too long ago a male friend of mine appeared on the scene fresh from a recent divorce.
[00:24.04]He had one child, who is, of course, with his ex-wife.
[00:27.55]He is looking for another wife.
[00:29.96]As I thought about him while I was ironing one evening,
[00:32.91]it suddenly occurred to me that I, too, would like to have a wife.
[00:36.75]Why do I want a wife?
[00:38.83]I would like to go back to school so that I can become econmically independent,
[00:43.53]support myself, and if need be,support those dependent upon me.
[00:47.36]I want a wife who will work and send me to school.
[00:50.53]And while I am going to school I want a wife to take care of my children.
[00:54.69]I want a wife who take care of my physical needs.
[00:58.30]I want a wife who will keep my house clean.
[01:01.36]I want a wife who cooks the meals, a wife who is a good cook.
[01:05.52]I want a wife who will plan the menus, do the necessary grocery shopping,prepare the meals,
[01:11.43]serve them pleasantly, and then do the cleaning up while I do my studying.
[01:15.91]I want a wife who will care for me when I am sick
[01:19.36]and sympathize with my pain and loss of time from school.
[01:22.88]I want a wife who will not bother me with rambling complaints about a wife’s duties.
[01:28.89]But I want a wife who will listen to me
[01:31.29]when I feel the need to explain a rather difficult point I have come across in my course of studies.
[01:37.09]And I want a wife who will type my papers for me when I have written them.
[01:41.90]When I am through with school and have a job,
[01:45.74]I want my wife to quit working and remain at home
[01:48.57]so that my wife can more fully and completely take care of a wife’s duties.
[01:53.06]If, by chance, I find another person more suitable as a wife than the wife I already have,
[01:59.30]I want the liberty to replace my present wife with another one.
[02:03.56]Naturally, I will expect a fresh, new life;
[02:06.84]my wife will take the children and be solely responsible for them so that I am left free.
[02:12.31]My god, who wouldn’t want a wife?
