Carol Perkins: A Spoiled Woman

Previous Column: The search

By Carol Perkins

Guy enjoys telling me I'm spoiled, knowing I'm the least spoiled person he has ever known. If he does something for me, like bring me a drink or a snack, he'll use the phrase, "You know you're spoiled."

I don't find it amusing. There are spoiled women, but I'm not one of them. Maybe it's time. Maybe I wish I were spoiled. What would make me spoiled? I can think of a few things.

How To Spoil Carol. I'm going to post these on his truck windshield:


First, do all the cooking. I would never cook another meal for the rest of my life so he could either cook or get it done. I would hear him calling, "Time to eat," and I would take my place at the table with my favorite foods. A steak, baked potato, and salad would be perfect. Then, he or someone would clean up and leave the kitchen spotless. I would slink to my recliner, pick up a book, and he would show up with a heated wrap for my neck. That is spoiled!

Next, I would never have to clean out my car because someone else would keep it spotless and organized. A clean car means so much to someone whose car is never clean. Mine is like a U-Haul, but if I were spoiled, I would have someone to unload my things and pick up my wrappers from gum, junk mail, paper cups, and loose change. The outside would also be spotless, and I would not have lifted a finger.

A spoiled woman gets everything she wants when she wants it. "Let's go to the movie," and off they go. "Let's eat out," and off they go. "I need a new outfit." Done. I want a trip this week to the beach. Which beach and it's done. I love that diamond ring in the window! It's yours. Spoiled and entitled.

If I were spoiled, I would have a massage every week, a manicure and pedicure every two weeks, and a trip to the beauty saloon twice a week. I would never pump gas again.

Truthfully, I would not make a contented spoiled woman. I'm used to doing most things for myself and never ask for help unless it's absolutely necessary. Most women I know are not spoiled. Most men, however, are. Now that's a good debate!
