Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for February 16, 2025

Some things never change.

You actually get around to it on a Sunday?

Which Sunday?

‘Ever on Sunday’ is the sad song she sings.

Lots of doubles in that laundry, the pink dress, the blue and white shirt, the red whatever it is.

Not on my Sunday. It’ll all still be there when I get to it.

My wife is clergy. There is no such thing as an off Sunday or Saturday for that matter. There is always prep work to be done for the service.

Maybe you should start doing on Friday night, Auntie A.

What’s-his-name can handle those chores. He’s a big strong guy.

STOP doing all that housework, you are fighting a losing battle that is impossible to win, this because the second law of thermodynamics states: “that as one goes forward in time, the net entropy or degree of disorder in any isolated or closed system will always increase”.

If you simply stop all housework, after 4 years the dust and dirt gets to the point where you will start to ignore it all and you simply resign yourself to its constant presence.

You need to have a lot of courage and will power to get through those first 4 years.

Be brave and strong, you can finally free yourself from the tyranny of housework.

The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.

Exactly, Aunty!

but, it’s not! it’s only the 1st day of the week.

Have fun, for me I’ll just watch the rest of my comics.

A day to celebrate the Professor and Mary Ann?

And even if you don’t finish everything on Sunday, at least you’re wearing a pretty spiffy apron.

Well Aunty, that’s what happens when you live by the motto of “Never put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after tomorrow.”
