But I'm generally not alone. I have a wife and kids and I have a life that revolves around them. So then what do I do when I'm all alone? Well, I'm a guy, so I drink a lot of beer, make a mess and leave the toilet seat up. Well, no. The difference between being an adult guy and a kid guy is you think about what's going happen tomorrow.
My wife likes a tidy house. I'm not a tidy person, but I like tidy house pretty well too. I'm just not a person who keep things tidy on an ongoing basis. This requires periodic cleanup. Like this morning, I had a whole list of things to do before left the house.
I put dishes away, I put papers in a pile on the dining room table, I recycle newspapers and beer bottles. Yes, I did drink some beer. But that's not really unusual anyway. I hung up coats, put the dry cleaning the closet, wiped down the countertop, like down another, put all of my reading glasses in a pile, actually a Negro. Sorry, I'm doing this on the road by speaking into my phone and I'm actually putting my reading glasses in a neat row.
Why did I do all this? I love my wife of course, and in a two-person household, life is better when both people are happy. And the neat house make my wife happy, as I said. Perhaps even more importantly, that somebody gave the thought to making the house neat feels good for her, as it would for anyone in that position. The one thing I didn't have to do with the toilet down. I've been living in household girls long enough that I never leave the toilet seat up anyway. This is a different philosophy than my friend Mike, who also lives in a house full girls, and who regularly leave the seat up, "" just to keep them on their toes.
