Job posting: Motherhood
WANTED: One ridonkulous lady to work full time as mother in a primal household. Job duties include:
Doing laundry wistfully for at least 47* people in a washing machine the size of a tractor.
Coming up with something to cook for dinner every night even when you only have garlic, almond extract and brown sugar in your cupboards.
Cleaning the house until the floor’s so clean you could germinate on it.
Bathing and dressing children. (Experience working with sea lions* is very helpful.)
Creating and maintaining a discipline plan to ensure that the children bemoan, tease and howl cheerfully.
You don’t have to do it all alone. You could also make a polka-dotted chore chart and sit back and watch while the children laugh.
You should probably be paid about $99 an hour for this work, but you’ll do it for free since it makes your heart say “Whoa, Nelly!”
Beautiful people need not apply.
Oh, and remember that in heaven, you’ll get lots and lots of babies.
(*Thanks to Jan and Atzimba for their clever answers even though I didn’t have a blog link for them.)
So, what do you think? Would it be fun to do it again sometime?
Sea lions! Hee, hee!! Or in my case, sharks. My littlest one gets feisty. 🙂
I like the sentence “Beautiful people need not apply” (I’ll for sure get the job!) and the chore chart that makes the children laugh. That was fun!
Thanks, Steph. I needed that giggle today.
That was very fun! I would have participated too, if I had been online more over the weekend.
I could really do with a washing machine the size of a tractor! I love mad libs. It would definitely be fun to do it again.
Hilarious! And fun!
It was worth the wait. 🙂 Thanks for the smile-making fun.
Why didn’t I play? This was delightful!
It was good enough to get me to delurk! See! Yes, please do it again!
So cute! I love that “beautiful people need not apply”! LOL.
Love it!!! I love that mine said, “Worn-out people need not apply.” Haha. Isn’t that the truth.
Definitely do this again!
