What is it about when you have a busy day lined up for work that all 3 of your kids decide to start vomiting within half an hour of each other! That is me today…poor me. What I am worried about more than any other thing is “who will go down with it next?”
I just have to share with you are good joke a friend sent me today. This is guaranteed to cheer you up. I publish this with all copyright acknowledged, if indeed there is any, to whoever wrote this to start with. I’m sure that the mums out there will like this one as much as all my friends did:
THE NEXT SURVIVOR SERIES
Six married men will be dropped on an island with one car and 3 kids each for six weeks.
Each kid will play two sports and either take music or dance classes.
There is no fast food.
Each man must take care of his 3 kids;keep his assigned house clean,correct all homework,and complete science projects,cook, do laundry,and pay a list of ‘pretend’ bills with not enough money.
In addition, each man will have to budget in money for groceries each week.
Each man must remember the birthdays of all their friends and relatives,and send cards outon time-no emailing.
Each man must alsotake each child to a doctor’s appointment,a dentist appointment and a haircut appointment.He must makeone unscheduled and inconvenient visit per child to the A & E. He must also make biscuits or cakes for a social function.
Each man will be responsible for decorating his own assigned house,planting flowers outside and keeping it presentable at all times.
The men will only have access to television when the kids are asleep and all chores are done.
The men must shave their legs,wear makeup daily,adorn himself with jewellery,wear uncomfortable yet stylish shoes,keep fingernails polished and eyebrows groomed.
During one of the six weeks,the men will have to endure severe abdominal cramps, back aches,and have extreme, unexplained mood swings but never once complain or slow down from other duties.They must attend weekly school meetings,church, and find timeat least once to spend the afternoon at the park or a similar setting.They will need toread a book to the kidseach night and in the morning,feed them, dress them,brush their teeth and comb their hair by 8:00 am.
A test will be given at the end of the six weeks, and each father will be required to know all of the following information: each child’s birthday,height,weight,shoe size,clothes size and doctor’s name. Also the child’s weight at birth,length,time of birth,and length of labour,each child’s favourite colour,middle name,favourite snack,favourite song,favourite drink,favourite toy,biggest fear andwhat they want to be when they grow up.
The kids vote them off the island based on performance.
The last man wins only if…he still has enough energy to be intimate with his spouse at a moment’s notice.
If the last man does win,he can play the game over and over and over again for the next 18-25 years eventually earning the right to be called Mum!
And now…back to labels!
