From an email my mum forwarded to me, thought you'd all appreciate it! -
A man came home from work and found his three children outside,still in
their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes andwrappers
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."
