Description
When the news came on she tuned it out and concentrated on her darning. She had always kept up on current affairs before coming to Stepford. Now when her husband turned it on every evening she found herself ignoring it and finding something else to concentrate on while it was on. Knitting, sewing, darning were favourites. They were quiet, didn't disturb her husband and were encouraged feminine hobbies. John didn't need her to darn his socks, he just liked his ditzy little homemaker been super thrifty and spending her time saving him pennies. Tomorrow morning she'd go through tonights paper cutting coupons.
A part of her was still miffed that she couldn't watch/read the news. She knew it was making her dumber, less informed. Her husband was kindhearted and paid for the housefrau channel. TV and radio channels filled with fashion, recipies, gossip and soaps. Four subjects which had never interested her before now filled her media consumption.
She'd tried paying attention on numerous occasions but each time found herself thinking about house hold tasks she had yet to do. Her hand would move to her sewing box and once her latest sewing project was in her hands she'd tune out the news and only then would she feel her usual smile form on her face.
John was probably right. It didn't make her happy. He had taken something that she couldn't change and made her unhappy and made it so that it never had a chance to make her unhappy again. She really should thank him again. She had never thought her life was to be some mans dumb little wifey but now she couldn't see it been any other way. A growing part of her found that idea so hot...
