The Hardest Job in the World

This story is used with permission (Diane's at least!) and it goes out to all of you Mom's out there. I figured you could probably relate with your own story and maybe get a chuckle out of it. You truly have the hardest job in the world. . .this one's for you!

My friend Diane woke up with the flu one morning and her husband Danny decided he needed to head out and so he left her with their 2 girls, Jessica (6) and Leigha (2). Diane fell asleep on the couch and woke up a little later to find Leigha standing in front of her - covered in blue paint! The girls had decided that painting would be fun and the kitchen was covered in blue paint. Diane put Leigha in the tub and had Jessica watch her while she attempted to clean up the blue mess in the kitchen. As Diane was finishing in the kitchen, Jessica yelled from the bathroom, "Mom, Leigha just pooped in the tub!" And if that were not enough, Jessica added, "Never mind - she threw it on the floor!" Before Diane could get to the tub, Jessica called out, "Mom, she pooped again!" By the time Diane got to the bathroom - well, you can just imagine - there was poop everywhere! Trying to keep her own stomach together, Diane got Leigha out of the bath, cleaned her up and sent the girls to the living room while she cleaned the bathroom, asking Jessica to put the TV on for Leigha. When Diane finished with the bathroom, she came to check on the girls. Yep, the TV was on as instructed and Leigha was standing in front of it - juicebox in hand, spraying the TV! When Danny got home, he asked Diane how the girls were. She recounted the events of the day, to which he replied, "Well, you probably shouldn't have fallen asleep."
