I belong to that classification of people known as wives. I am A Wife.
And, not altogether incidentally, I am a mother. Not too long ago a male friend of mine appeared on the scene fresh from a recent divorce. He had one child, who is, of course, with his ex-wife. He is looking for another wife. As I thought about him while I was ironing one evening, it suddenly occurred to me that I too, would like to have a wife. Why do I want a wife?
O resto? Ah, aqui: 'Why I Want a Wife', por Judy Syfers (1971).
Para a T., a propósito de reflexões sobre o possível interesse erótico do Mr. Stillingfleet blogosférico português e na esperança que encontre relação entre galão e caldeirada (brejeirice à parte, claro, que somos pessoas sérias) porque 'é assim que vejo as coisas'. Agora em português.
