In this short, humorous monologue, the speaker addresses his future wife, recalling a childhood memory of being forced to sit in the kitchen with his mother while she cooked. He jokes about the gendered notion of "girl work" and his frustration at being made to watch cooking. The mother’s response—questioning what he would do if a partner couldn’t cook—leads the speaker to a sarcastic retort about being alone, which the mother dismisses with a reminder that he still needs to eat. The speaker then expresses a hopeful wish that his future wife can cook, but remains open‑minded if she cannot, ending with a playful gesture of leaving a plate in the microwave for her. The overall tone is light‑hearted, self‑deprecating, and comedic, using personal anecdote to comment on expectations around cooking and gender roles.

Chapters

Dear future wife, I remember as a kid my mother used to make me sit in the kitchen with her, and I used to be so mad. This is girl work! Why do you want me in the kitchen with you watching you cook? She would look at me like I'm crazy and say, girl work? Okay, so what if you meet a girl and she can't cook? Then what you gonna do? Me being a smart aleck said, ha! I guess I'll just be by myself. My mother just looked at me and shook her head. Boy, you still gotta eat. Dang, I ain't thinking about that. So hopefully my wife can cook, but if she can't, oh well. Still cool though. Dear future wife, I left you a plate in the microwave. You're welcome.
