Subject: How to be a stay at home Mum!!!
A father came home and found his three children were outside, still
in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and
wrappers strewn all around the front yard. The door of his wife's
car was open, as was the front door to the house and there was no
sign of the dog. Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger
mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded
against one wall. In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a
cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and various
items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast
food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog
food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table,
and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door.
He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles
of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she may be ill, or
that something serious had happened. He was met with a small trickle
of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered
inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the
floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been
smeared over the mirror and walls. As he rushed to the bedroom, he
found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pajamas, reading a
novel.
She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went. He looked
at her bewildered and asked, "What happened here today?"
She again smiled and answered, "You know? Every day when you come
home from work and you ask me what in the world did I do today?"
"Yes," was his incredulous reply.
She answered, "Well, .........today I didn't do it."
