Maid?

To my husband and kids,

Today's lesson will be on the definition of maid.  The dictionary defines it  as a female domestic servant.  I would like to more clearly define this word for future reference.

-When you leave a glass on the counter and the next day it has been put in the dishwasher and came out clean...that is the work of the elusive maid.
-When you put your 'stuff' where ever you feel and ignore it and the next day it has been put away ...that is the work of the elusive maid.
-When you spill sugar or creamer on the counter and ignore it and the next day it is clean...that again is the work of the elusive maid.
-When you leave your dirty clothes where ever they fall off and the next day they are washed...again there's that maid again.
-When you are cooking something and it spills over and the next morning it is cleaned...again the maid.
-When you step over something instead of picking it up and the next day it is gone...again the maid.
-When you empty your backpack in the livingroom and the next morning everything is back in your backpack...again, thank the maid.
-When you reach into the cabinet and find a clean glass...that is there because the maid did it.
-When you leave your candy wrappers on the sofa...it is the maid that digs them out from the cushions and throws them in the trash.
-When you lay your trash on top of the trash can, or throw your trash in the general direction of the trash can...it is the maid that makes sure it gets where it is supposed to be.
-When you leave your shoes and socks in the kitchen, until there are now THREE pairs, and they magically appear in your bedroom beside your bed...how do you think they got there?
-And when you finally decide to move your dirty dishes off the table and stack them all on the counter...above the waiting dishwasher...with food still in them...who do you think gets to clean them off and put them in the waiting dishwasher?  Is it the TOOTH FAIRY?  No it is me...the MAID!!!

To recap...the maid is someone who cleans YOUR messes; picks up YOUR clothes, toys, shoes, socks, and other assorted items left wherever they feel like going; makes sure YOU have clean dishes on a regular basis; and in spite of my announcing several hundred times a day.....I AM NO THE MAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Please, if you are reading this, let my family know the maid needs a raise!
