"what do you do all day?"
Thought this was really funny and wanted to share!
For my "stay at home" friends, and those other people...some of which have actually asked me "what do you do all day!?" And for those that work outside the home... what we do when we get home!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, 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.'

I like it! I used to always tell people when they'd ask 'what do you do all day?' 'I'm too busy to go out to work.' Note - my husband never asked that. He knew. But he's a smart man!

i've actually done it -- a few times actually. whenever DH gets in a tiff because one little thing isn't done or if he's not working -- i go on a cleaning strike. he very quickly goes into "the house is so trashed" rant, but it keeps his moods at bay for quite awhile [after he cleans it]

My husband is like AussieD's--he's too smart to say anything (most of the time)
There are times he may not say it, but I know he's thinking it, though  (He's a neat freak, and, well, I'm not)
