OT - domestic story

A man came home from work and found his 5 children outside, still in
their pyjamas, 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
pyjamas, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled and asked how his
day went.
He looked at her in bewilderment and asked, "What happened here today?"
She replied "You know every day when you come home from work and you ask
me what in the world do I do all day?"
"Yes" he said.
She replied "Well, today I didn't do it."

If worries can cure your sickness, prolong your life, or replace
happiness, then go ahead and worry! If they can't, why worry?

Enjoy every moment of your life...there is no second chance.
