how do you solve a problem like Maria? July 23, 2010


Easy!

  • Make her coffee. 2 sugars. creamer not milk.
  • Go to Charlotte Russe, Old Navy or Target. Do not just go there, buy something. Be warned, though, that she doesn’t really like going to the mall. Odd for a woman, i know.
  • Cook her favorite foods – escabeche, taguktok, fried fish anything, tilapia with fermented black beans. This always worked for my mom.
  • Play some good music. Reggae, Nirvana, the Pixies, her woman-angst playlist, your dedicated songs for her. No Slayer, puleez.
  • Be on schedule. When you say you are scheduled to do something, do it on schedule. Or else, she is going to nag about it. Jeez.
  • When it’s hot and you’re outside and the windows are rolled down (at it always is), she gets grumpy. Shut up.
  • Beer makes her happy. Not so much now. It still may work.
  • Do not feed her chocolates unless its kitkat or wachamacallits or twix or Hershey’s cookies and cream chocolate bar
  • Do not feed her ice cream unless its Haagen Dazs – cup-size.
  • If you heat up some Beefaronis, she might ungrumpify.
  • A kiss from Max when he gets home from work.
  • Clam chowder

It’s not that easy to cheer her up, right? =)
