Damsel in Distress

Barb was not happy when she got back to Ottawa.  She spent two days cleaning the house and she had to do a lot of groceries.

She bought a big pork loin at Costco but the butcher wouldn’t chop it for her.  Then when she went to cut the loin into pork chops she found she had forgotten her good craving knife in Florida.

She went at the pork loin in a fierce state with an old dull knife she found around the house.  I sat at the kitchen table and stayed out of her way.

Later when she calmed down, she asked me why I didn’t step in and help her.  I said I didn’t think it was safe to go near her when she was holding a large butcher’s knife.

I could have been Barb’s Knight in Shining Amour coming to the aid of a Damsel in Distress.  I will do better next time.
