B: He doesn’t lift a finger! I *bend over backwards² cleaning up all day and he sleeps in until noon.

B: You think he might stay even longer?!
A: Now, don’t go *losing your temper. *If you tolerated all you can, just kick him out…but do it with gloves. I know! Tell him ⑹a white lie like you’re getting the house fumigated³!
