In our early years in L, one of the cooks in the school dining hall came to my husband, who was the business manager of the school, and wanted to credit some money to pay the bride price for another wife. "Why another wife? You have just finished paying for one." "My wife wants me to get another wife so she won't have to do all the work."
Hah! First wives love having a second wife - and second wives hate being second wives.
The bad thing about my second wife in the house? She's from the dead brother's husband and she was his first wife - so imagine going from that, your husband dying, then you're all of a sudden the second wife. It's an interesting situation.
