I was in my den one morning and my wife was in our bedroom. She was getting dressed and I was at my laptop. She sometimes will ask me to fasten her bra which of course I do and don’t mind. But that morning she called out to me, “Honey, will you put my bra on please?” I said, “Gee, I’d rather not. Besides I don’t think that it will fit me.” We both had a good laugh. :-)
Earl is starting a new exercise program, he’s training her to never get him anything he asks for so he’ll have to get his butt out of the chair and do it himself.
I always chuckle at how B Crane portrays the Pickles as so old-fashioned. No modern man in his right mind would ever ask his wife to bring him something. He needs to get it himself. A spouse is not a servant.

Earl, you should have waited until she did not have a newspaper in her hand or any any large heavy object within her reach.

I was showing my stepgrandchildren my cat’s trick. “Up. Up” and she would jump up on a table. “Good girl.” I said, patting her.
One of the children nearly broke my heart when she said, “I want to be a good girl, too.”
