A
man came home from work and found his 3 children outside, still in
their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers
strewn around the 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. 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 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 do I do all day?...
''Yes," was his incredulous reply..
She answered, 'Well, today I didn't do it.'
''Yes," was his incredulous reply..
She answered, 'Well, today I didn't do it.'
I found this story on facebook and it made me laugh.
So true we wives do so much that goes completely unnoticed for our families but if we were to do absolutely nothing for a day our homes would probably look something like this times ten.
It is good to be a mom but its even better to hear the words Thank you from the ones you serve daily.
Which I might add my husband is very good at.
This is not a reminder to Jason but to other men to remember to say thank you to your wives for all that they do for the home.
