I heard recently about a stay-at-home Mom. One evening she went to a P&C meeting and her husband and
her oldest daughter got together and decided they would clean up the kitchen for her.
They put away all the food, wiped all the counters, washed all the pots and put them away,
put the dishes in the dishwasher and ran it.
They swept and mopped the floors and then sat down, awaiting her arrival.
Two hours later she returned from the meeting, took off her coat, hung it up,
walked through the kitchen into the lounge room, grabbed the remote control, and began
watching television.
They followed her over to her chair and stood by her side.
Finally she felt them looking over her shoulder and looked up at them and said, "What?"
Her husband said, "The kitchen."
"The kitchen. What?"
"The kitchen. We cleaned up the kitchen. Didn't you notice? It's sparkling clean. We cleaned it for you."
The woman replied, "Yes, I noticed. Thankless job, isn't it?"
