Bedtime Story



------------------------------------------------------------------------


Mom and Dad were watching TV, when Mom said, "I'm tired, and it's 
getting late. I think I'll go to bed."

She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's lunches,
rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the freezer for supper 
the following evening, checked the cereal box levels, filled the sugar
container, put spoons and bowls on the table and started the coffee pot
for brewing the next morning.

She then put some wet clothes into the dryer, put a load of clothes into
the wash, ironed a shirt and secured a loose button. She picked up the
newspapers strewn on the floor, picked up the game pieces left on the 
table and put the telephone book back into the drawer. She watered the 
plants, emptied a wastebasket and hung up a towel to dry. She yawned and
stretched and headed for the bedroom. She stopped by the desk and wrote 
a note to the teacher, counted out some cash for the field trip, and 
pulled a textbook out from hiding under the chair.

She then signed a birthday card for a friend, addressed and stamped the 
envelope and wrote a quick note for the grocery store. She put both near
her purse. Mom then creamed her face, put on moisturizer, brushed and 
flossed her teeth and trimmed her nails.

Hubby called, "I thought you were going to bed."

"I'm on my way," she said.

She put some water into the dog's dish and put the cat outside, then 
made sure the doors were locked. She looked in on each of the kids and 
turned out a bedside lamp, hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks in 
the hamper, and had a brief conversation with the one up still doing 
homework.

In her own room, she set the alarm, laid out clothing for the next day,
straightened up the shoe rack. She added three things to her list of 
things to do for tomorrow. About that time, the hubby turned off the TV
and announced to no one in particular "I'm going to bed," and he did.

If women are so good at multitasking, how come they 
cannot have a headache and sex at the same time?
