Cheap labor

With the arrival of nice weather, Gretchen decided it would be a good day to wash the layer of winter dirt and salt off our car (she likes that sort of thing). When our landlords (who are fairly old) heard this, they asked if she wouldn't mind washing one of their cars as well...and while she was at it, perhaps she could wash both of their cars? They would pay her, of course--two bottles of wine! They're so nice to us that she really couldn't say no. So now we have friends coming over for fondue in a couple of hours (we had planned fondue for the arrival of family and luckily found other takers), and instead of preparing for dinner, she's out washing three cars while I sit my lazy ass down at the computer. What a good husband am I...
