This story has been on my mind the past few weeks. I read it a jazillion years ago - probably in a Dentist office. For some reason, it's stuck with me.
Two women, old friends, were talking on the telephone catching up with each other. The first woman asked the second about her son's new wife. The second woman responded, "Oh, she's the laziest thing!"
The first woman fueled the conversation and asked, "what do you mean?"
"She sleeps all day. My son cooks all of the meals, does all of the dishes, he cleans the house, he does all of the laundry. She does nothing!"
"Wow!" replies the first woman, "And how is your daughter?"
"Oh, she's just wonderful! She has the best husband! He lets her sleep in every morning, he cooks for her, keeps the house really neat, and he does all of the laundry. She doesn't have to lift a finger!"
Funny what perspective does to us isn't it? Why would it be making you think so much about it now??
