Clearly you do not have kids. That’s right I don’t. However, my house does get dirty just like everyone else’s. Chances are I had just wiped a weeks worth of my dog’s nose art off the window just before you came over. Once again, it is pointing out the obvious that brings up painful reminders. One friend said she had waited so long to be able to say she had extra laundry. She came home from a long work week and was ecstatic when she saw the pile of laundry. It meant her life had changed. It meant that her dream had come true. So if your friend ever comes to you with news that her life is about to change, there is no need to point out the obvious. There is no need to tell her that her house is about to get messier or that she is about to get busier or that her life is going to drastically change…..she has probably been dreaming about just those things for a very long time.
