Chores...

I have great kids. They never fight. They do tons of chores. I rarely have to lift a finger around the house. They tidy up and put away without a murmur. I never have to follow their path of destruction picking up as I go...

Take last week. We were having visitors join us for tea. I knew that the downstairs toilet was running low on toilet paper and I had been shopping. I asked Gareth if he would be good enough to put it away for me. "Sure" he beamed and ran away to do it straight away. 

I smiled a smug smile. I have great kids I reminded myself. The door went and I walked out to let our friends in. I  glanced towards the bathroom as I opened the door to our smiling guests and this is what I saw....

  1. Like I said, you bring me hope for the future. My kids would have unrolled all of the paper and then shoved a matchbox car and half of the paper into the toilet. And, have I mentioned lately that they too are perfect?

    At least you're not suffering in Bali.

    But your floor is amazingly clean! BTW, I was thinking about doing a post over at my place about the trip I took to Bali in 2002 for my birthday. What do you think? ;)
