Title: The Toughest Job
Post by: Craig on November 13, 2012, 02:02:51 PM
A man came home from work and found his 5 children outside, still in their pajamas, 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.

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.'

Beautiful Mark, just beautiful, you could run for any office and would be sure to get the women's vote.

I remember when i was gone for 5 weeks caring for my son in a hospital.  My husband who took care of our small children 2 and 5 at home called me up  and said " come home you have the hardest job in the world"  made my year!

By the bye,
Just re-reading my comment and see that I gave attribution to Mark.
Don't know where that came from since the message originated with Craig.
sorry Craig, Indiana Bob  ;)

I thought it would be some rapture story.  Except here some devil children don't automatically go to heaven.
