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 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, ****my 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 came home from work and ask me what in the world did I do today?” “Yes,” was his incredulous reply.

As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pyjamas, reading a book! 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?! ’
But basically...what I think the point of the thread is...is that sometimes when hubby gets back from work he might look around..see nothing new and think, 'what in the world did u get up to today?'....not realising that she has taken care of the kids, cleaned the house and cooked etc etc....But if she left it for a day he'd soon realise and not take it for granted
A man would do it in half the time, but we cant be bothered
We greatly lack their multitasking skills bro. I mean, they can cook roti, make chai, clean the sink, feed the kids, watch TV and talk on the phone all at the same time! They = Superwomen.
