Ann's friends envy her. None of their husbands even lift a finger to help with the household chores. Ann's husband is different, though. Then a simple hypothetical conversation while they wash and dry the dishes causes Ann to see her husband in a different light - and causes him to rethink the way two people can know each other.

Heald does such a good job as narrator. Each of these stories leaves me struck with a grain of truth that's tough to dislodge. Gorgeous writing, each word perfectly placed! Bravo!!

A perfect short short story for today's white privilege patriarchal audiences. (I would love to teach this to a high school or college English class.) PERFECT.

The patriarchy ends here

I didn't really get the point of this one. A racist guy fights with his wife about whether he would have married her if she was Black. I don't like some of the endings of these stories because they are too open-ended.
