One day during my second trimester of pregnancy, I’m at work washing the dishes from my lunch. A female co-worker sees me and says: “Why don’t you get your husband to wash the dishes?”
I answer her: “Because I’m the only one who ate lunch, and he’s napping.”
She says: “Go wake him up!”
Have you ever had a similar experience?
This is part of the series ‘Conversations with Locals in China,’ where I share conversations with Chinese people on my blog.
