Last night after bath time the kids were hanging out
on our bed lounging in their pajamas.
Mike was with them as they began to watch a t.v. show before bed.
I was busy in the bathroom picking up the usual bath time mess
when I hear Amelia say...
"Daddy, how come Mommy does all the work in our house?"
In my stunned silence I listened for Mike's reply.
(chuckling while formulating his answer)
"Well Amelia, Mommy and Daddy had a contest and
we decided that the person who did the work the best got to do it all the time.
Guess what....Mommy won!"
Hmmm, can't say I remember participating in this contest.
Much less agreeing to the terms.
Though I will say... it brought a smile to my face
to hear Mike's funny response and to
know at least someone notices!
Got to love her, that Miss Amelia!
***footnote***
If the contest from above had actually happened
the second place prize would have been doing
all the cooking, meal planning and grocery shopping.
I am happy to award that honor to Mike.
That's where I really won...I know many women who are jealous!
