So True!
A man came home from work and found his three children outside, still in
their pyjamas , playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers
strewn all around the f ront 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 hall, he found the coat hanger knocked over,
and the throw rug was wadded against one wall.
In the front room the TV was 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, and the fridge door was wide open.
Dog food was spilled all over 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 in side 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.'
Changed for good
