“A man came home from work and found his 3 children outside, still in
their pyjamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn
around garden. The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to
the house and no sign of the dog,
walking in the door, he found..an even bigger mess.
walking in the door, he found..an even bigger mess.
A lamp had been knocked over; the throw rug was against one wall, In the
front room the TV was on loudly with the cartoon channel, 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 pyjamas, 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 do I do all day?... ''Yes," was his
incredulous reply..
She answered, 'Well, today I didn't do it.
