When a girl was getting married, she asked her mother:
– ‘Mommy, what must I do to make my husband think I am a good wife?
– Sweetheart,” her mother answered her, “you have to be very industrious: in the morning when you wake up, go whitewash the house, then paint the fence, bake something delicious.
After the wedding was over, the girl came to her mother-in-law at night and told her:
– Mom, get up, let’s go with you to whitewash the house!
– Are you out of your mind, it’s nighttime!
– Mom, get up, we have to go to work!
– Go to sleep, you and I don’t have a brush!
– Is that a problem? His father’s beard, we’ll cut it off, and we’ll have a brush!
And so they did. And when the father-in-law and his son woke up in the morning, the house had already been whitewashed. The next night everything happened again.
– Mom, come on, wake up, we need to paint the fence!
– Daughter, you’d better go to sleep, we don’t have a brush with you!
– Is that a problem? Dad has a mustache, we’ll cut it and we’ll have a brush.
And so they did. In the morning, the father-in-law and his son woke up, and the fence was all painted. When the son returned from work, he found his father sitting on the neighbor’s fence, and the old man flatly refused to go home.
– Daddy, why are you climbing up that tree? Come on down, it’s time to go home.
– Tell me, son, where did you find that working stinker? First she decided to whitewash the house – she left me without a beard, then the fence, she decided to paint – she left me without a mustache. That night she said she was going to bake, and there weren’t any eggs in the house.
