My Mamafesta, Circa 2010

I came across this just today. I wrote it four years ago. I think its truth still holds.

My Mamafesta, Or What I'd Really Like from a Man in My Life

  1. You must fuck me five nights a week. And you must like it, really really like it.  Until I get sick of that shit. Then we’ll fuck when I feel like it, on your time.
  2. You will give me half the rent on the day before the rent is due. In cash. I will provide you with a receipt. Thus you will have met your obligations to the household.
  3. That is, unless you insist on cable or satellite TV and/or high-speed internet. I’m not paying for that shit. You’ll have to provide for that, as well as a TV and computer for mine and my son’s use, too.
  4. I’ll do your laundry and you’ll like it. If you start whining about idiotic crap like “starch” or “ironing”, you’ll do your laundry.
  5. I’ll serve you supper every night with a smile on my face. And no matter what I put in front of you, be it filet mignon or pinto beans and dandelion greens, you’ll smile back and say, thank you sweetheart. Every night.
  6. I’ll never ask you to do something stupid, like “go shopping with me”, and you’ll never ask me to do something stupid like “watch football with you”.
