submissive wife. Dennis is at the Wilsons, having cake and milk. Mr. Wilson is trying to read his paper as Mrs. Wilson washes the dishes. Dennis wonders why Mr. Wilson never goes to work. Mr. Wilson explains that he is retired. “Retired! Is that why you loaf all the time?” Dennis asks him. Mr. Wilson tells him he has earned the right to loaf, since he worked hard for many years so that he could take it easy some day. That makes Dennis wonder why Mrs. Wilson doesn’t retire. He has never seen her loaf.
