A day off

 

My daughter was 3. I could see my wife and her had been couped up together for too long and it was wearing on both of them.
“I’ll make you a deal,” I said, “I’ll take our daughter away for the day, go to all the parks and crappy kid places, you stay home and do nothing, and I mean it on the nothing thing, I’ll make a condition, I do not want to come home to a clean house, you waste the day on whatever things.”
She smiled “deal,” she said.
For a year or so it turned into something I did every couple of months. My daughter had a fun day, my wife got to rest.
