Metal Sticks

After her soul finding trip to the Rockies, my Mommy came home with metal sticks that she insists on walking with everywhere. My theory is she doesn't really need them and just keeps them around to force Daddy to clean, do laundry, cook, you name it. I think she wants Daddy to realize all that she does. Why she keeps up the act to the point that he has to dress and shower her I don't understand? But, hey everyone's marriage is unique!
