I got this email today at work...and had to share it!
I have to admit my hubby already does a great deal of what is on the list...but he has yet to figure out how to do them AND keep the house picked up...we're working on it though, one small step at a time!
SURVIVOR:
Motherhood - Outwit, Outplay, Outlast
Six
married men will
be dropped on an island with one car and 3 kids each
for six weeks.
Each kid
will play two sports and either take music or dance
classes.
There
is no fast food.
Each man must take care of
his 3 kids; keep
his assigned house clean, correct
all homework, and complete
science projects, cook,do laundry,
and pay a list of 'pretend' bills with not enough money.
In
addition, each man will have to budget
in money for groceries each week.
Each
man must remember the
birthdays of all their friends and relatives, and send
cards out on time--no emailing.
Each
man must also take each child to a doctor's
appointment,
dentist
appointment and
a haircut
appointment.
He
must make one unscheduled and inconvenient visit per child to
the Urgent Care.
He must
also make cookies or cupcakes for
a social function.
Each man will be responsible for d decorating his own
assigned house,planting flowers outside and keeping it
presentable at all times.
The men will only have access to
television when the kids are asleep and all chores are
done.
The men must shave their legs,wear
makeup daily, adorn
himself with
jewelry, wear
uncomfortable yet stylish
shoes, keep
fingernails polished and eyebrows
groomed.
During one
of the six weeks ,
the men
will have to endure severe abdominal
cramps, back aches, and have extreme, unexplained mood swings
but never once complain or slow down from other
duties.
They
must attend weekly school
meetings, church, and
find time at least once to spend the afternoon at the park or a
similar setting.
They will need to read a book to the kids
each night
and in the morning, feed
them, dress
them,brush
their teeth and comb
their hair by 7:00 am.
A test will be given at the end of the six weeks, and each father
will be required to know all of the following information: each
child's birthday, height, weight, shoe size, clothes size and
doctor's name. Also the child's weight at birth, length, time of
birth, and length of labor, each child's favorite color, middle
name, favorite snack, favorite song, favorite drink, favorite toy,
biggest fear and what they want to be when they grow
up.
The kids vote them off the island based on performance.
The last man wins only if...he
still has enough energy to be intimate with his spouse at a
moment's notice.
If the last man does win, he can play the game over and over and over
again for the next 18-25 years eventually earning the right To be
called Mother!
