"Yeah, why not" Tomasz Paczkowski said, to his wife. "You can go to the picnic with your friends for couple of days while I take care of the house." He said without hesitation.
"Well then, I would love to, but there's a few things that need to be checked out before I return. I can make a to-do list for you till the time I'm in the countryside." His wife replied, and Tomasz happily agreed.
Few minutes later, his wife brings in a handwritten piece of paper, giving it to Mr. Paczkowski. He double-reads it making sure he will not forget.
"Groceries... Washing... Ironing... Yeah, it'll be done. See you in a few days."
"Goodbye, and make sure you do the work. Meet you after two days!"
"Bye!" Tomasz said, looking forward to do the chores happily while his wife is on the picnic with her friends.
Tomasz picked up the television remote, turned on his sports channel, watching the boxing match while ironing the clothes.
Couple of minutes later, his phone rang, he supposedly picked it the phone up, mistaking it for the iron on which he was ironing his clothes, and held it like he was on a call.
It was not late that he realised that half of his face got burned a fraction of second later.
Somehow handling himself, he put down his iron upright, and sprinted straight to the kitchen sink and turned on the tap and bought his right side of his face into the cool stream of water.
While his phone still rang.
