The game in which I tell you my truly marvelous ideas, and how they went horribly, terribly wrong. (applause)
Good Idea-
Putting a hook on the kids' wall so they can hang up their wet towels to use for next time
Bad Idea-
Putting cheap hooks up that break in a few short months
Good Idea-
Deciding 'hey, that's not so bad, I'll just take it down' and unscrewing the screws.
Bad Idea-
Realizing that you husband (who put the hooks up) also sticky-fied them to the wall...and discovering this after you got frustrated and just pulled as hard as you could, ripping a giant hole in the wall.
Good Idea-
Letting the kids play as you try to clean your house
Bad Idea-
Not checking on where your three year and 15 month old are playing, and then discovering they are in the bathroom squeezing a new tube of toothpaste into the floor...which is carpeted.
Bad Idea-
Carpeting a bathroom floor- Whoever came up with that idea should be shot.
Good Idea-
Cleaning the bath tub
Bad Idea-
Turning your back on your 15 month old and leaving a bottle of comet where he can reach it. Which he promptly spilt on the carpeted bathroom floor, right in the wet spot of the once toothpaste you just cleaned up.
Good Idea-
Putting culprit children to bed, going downstairs, getting a bowl full of comforting ice cream, watching the Office, and deciding never to clean again.
that's the ticket.
