If your mother ever made you mind her or ever disciplined you for not minding...

That got me thinking about the general division of labor in our home. Generally, I take care of the outside (vehicles, yard, structure, etc.), and Mrs Joe takes care of the inside, (cooking, cleaning, laundry, indoor child supervision, and such). Sure, either of us can do either, for the most part, we have even hunted together, but on a day to day basis, that's how it breaks down.

It is a fairly traditional American split of domestic duties.

Well, right now, America needs someone who can clean house, get the 'kids' in Congress to straighten up, do their homework and do better with their allowance, send the neighborhood hellions home, and get the books back on the shelves.

We can worry about the lawn later.

You know, that is a beautiful summary and analogy, and it somehow makes the whole task look doable.

Thank you. My day is starting off better because of your post!
