One of the most "ironic things" we do is figuring out how to avoid chores we don't like to do. Somehow doing the jobs is the glamorous part but when it comes time to "tidy up" everyone disappears or has more pressing obligations. Men are notorious at avoiding the dishes after a meal, or taking out the garbage.
This weekend we planted our garden and I found myself going in circles trying to keep up with everyone as they did the "glamorous jobs" like transplanting to the beds and putting in the seeds. In the end I was of coarse laughing about it and yes, a lot of work got done with everyones help. But man, I spent a full day just tiding up from the effort. It's like we scheme and invent ways to avoid this part of living from the moment we are born.
I watched a show on the maids and butlers of the British Monarch recently. It was BIG NEWS that prince Harry cleaned a toilet on his own, and polished his own boots! This was news! Watch at 6 as a royal cleans a toilet! haha.
7 billion, avoiding cleanup, and counting
