I love this! I have read this before, but came across it again today. I had to post it on my blog because I think it is hilarious.
What Did You Do All Day?
A man came home from work and found his three children 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 might 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 I do all day?"
"Yes," was his incredulous reply.
She answered, "Well, today I didn't do it."

This is so great! And I have been wanting to respond about your clogging comment...I was laughing so hard when I read it. I totally forgot about our final! What a great trip down memory lane. Just putting on those shoes really brought back a lot of memories...all good. Was Keri in our group too, or was it just me and you? Was that the class we all had together and after go and eat feast for one? Good times!
Stories like this always make me depressed because they remind me of all the tedious crud I have to do all day. I'd like to see a story where the house is a mess but the mom's having a great time playing with the kids in the backyard and then the magic home-and-garden fairy comes to do all the stuff no one really likes to do :)
