A Terrible Guatemalan Wife

Posted on April 16, 2008 - Filed Under Guatemala |

You know what makes a good Guatemalan wife? Allow me to enlighten you . . . :)

A good Guatemalan wife:

  • Washes all clothes by hand, in boiling water, if necessary, until they are sparkling clean.
  • Makes perfect rice with vegetables where each grain is separated and perfectly firm.
  • Doesn´t have big ambitions, just supports her husband.
  • Is a great housekeeper, mopping the floor every five minutes.
  • Never, ever dreams of letting her children play in dirt or water.
  • Happily turns her kids over to the local school as soon as they turn 3.
  • Is adept at producing a variety of complicated dishes that take an entire day to prepare.
  • Would never sit at the computer for hours on end.

So, do you think I make the cut? :D

    Oh goodness, I know I certainly wouldn’t. Well I do make really good rice (thanks to my rice cooker), but not so much with the rest of that. :)

    Whoa, are you kidding me? I wouldn’t make the cut either, and wouldn’t want to! I bet it’s hard for you just because you feel they’re judging you. Irving chose you, though, NOT a typical Guatemalan wife. And I think he made a very good choice. :)

    Yikes, though I have to say this list made me laugh. The rice thing I also have down pat, but the washing by hand. Ugh. I don’t think so.
