When you need someone to do a man's job, send a woman

I wrote earlier in the week that my husband had taken our little black cat to the vet and been given some eye drops to administer twice a day. That was on Monday afternoon and when I got back last night, I learned that he hadn't given him any drops because he thought it would be impossible to do it with only one person. So this morning, spotting that Bagheera was curled up on the bed half-asleep, I asked my husband to get the eye drops. He was asking me whether I would hold the cat and he would do the drops or vice versa. Whilst he stood around flapping like a flag in a storm, I grabbed the drops, crept up behind the cat and squirted it straight into his eye. True he took off like he had a rocket up him, but the job was done and my poor husband looked a bit taken aback that I'd achieved the objective without any scratches, any howling or any need to hold the cat down. I'm not sure I'll get away with it quite so easily next time.
