Priceless!
One afternoon a man came
home from work to find total mayhem (chaos) in his house. 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 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." |
