Brian, you make an excellent point here. Now, if my wife shouted at me that she needed me to come to the yarn store with her, Iād be there in a shot and we might spend 1) all day and 2) a weekās pay.
Why on earth would Opal want Earl to go to the fabric store with her? Does she go to the hardware store with him? I will never, ever, understand some womenāand Iām a woman.
Why does he NEED to go? We know Opan can drive herself around. My husband goes to the fabric and quilt shop with me when I donāt want to drive. The ladies at the quilt shop love him; he finds fabric (he knows all of the sections), he puts bolts away for them, etc. Or, sometimes he just sits behind one of the cutting counters and talks to people. Heās great at finding fabric for me with cats on it.
Love that he sits on the arm of the couch with his tiny socksā¦.listening to Earl ramble about money, or somethingā¦..Opal comes along and breaks the moodā¦.
Iāve concluded that at my age, the coin has pretty small value. I donāt really wantā to āgo to the fabric store with herā but I do enjoy her company enough to make the trip tolerable. Though I do require a book for when sheās pondering whatever-is-ponderable about which (fabric).

Just take the load onto your broad shoulders Earl, and maybe later you can be hog butcher of the kitchen and slice yourself a nice ham sandwich.

If she had let him watch his baseball game, I think he would be more inclined to go with her without complaining.

Maybe Opal needs to hang various fabrics on Earl to decide what to buy.
