I saw them from the kitchen

 

This is going to be brief. You can either believe it or not.

I was in the kitchen trying to cook lobster thermidor; but I had run out of thermidor. What is it anyway?

As I was searching through the cupboard whether my wife had bought any I noticed from the corner of my eye three people looking at me through the window. They were standing in the garden looking in at me.

I tried not to panic; but I did not know how. I was inwardly at maximum panic mode. I did not know what to do. Is it OK to cook lobster without the thermidor bit?

The three men were still standing there looking at me silently. I must have cried a little because I felt tears running down my leg; and it was not because of the onions. 

I opened the fridge and discovered we did not have any lobster anyway. We never buy lobster because we cannot afford it. I found an old tin of sardines well past its "sell-by" date in the cupboard. Perhaps I'll try sardines thermidor.

It was then that I noticed that one of the men outside had an extra ear on his forehead. "What are you looking at?" he asked menacingly.

"Your ear ..." I mumbled.

"That's the final front ear!" he replied. (I always wanted to tell that joke - final frontier!)

"We are from the planet QT," he said, then added, "take me to your leader!"

"My wife is not at home!" I said instinctively.

They looked at each other and one said, "these people are like us, they let women rule the planet!"

"Stupidity is sometimes an asset in the right circumstances," said the other alien from QT.

And then they vanished. 

What did they mean? Are women usually in control of every relationship?

    1. Yes, it is true, Martha. Women do rule in every relationship. My wife told me to say so.

      God bless always.

  4. Their observation about women ruling could just be a playful take on how many people find that women often play central roles in decision-making and leadership within their own lives and relationships. Women are strong.

  6. Perhaps because they're gentlemen, they always let the lady go first. (And make a face behind her back?)
    Personally, I'm happy not to have to take the helm.
