What did you do today?

A cute story emailed to me by my sister...Enjoy!


A man came home from work and found his three children
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 th e 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 wa s 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 u! p at hi m, 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.
