Years ago....wife went out of town and I reverted back to my old ways as a bachelor. Walking around in my underwear, itching my sack whenever I wanted.....dishes stacking in the sink.

My 5 son's quickly followed my lead. In a day, the house was a disaster and our underwear had holes.

Two days before she returned....we scrambled around, cleaning the place. The place looked better than before......that's when it dawned on us. 'Mom' may think we could do alright without her.

We messed the place back up, leaving the stool unflushed for good measure. Everyone contributed.

While we were out fishing later that day.....a snoopy friend of the family, Clara Edwards, came in uninvited.....and cleaned the whole house. WT?....

We did get a few things messed back up when she got home, which made her feel better.
