Desperate Stay-At-Home Moms

This is a variation of a humorous story I heard a few years back on Los Angeles Christian music station 95.9 The Fish, using my own cartoon characters Ricki Lee and Tony.

Tony came home from work to see his stay-at-home wife Ricki Lee stressed and pulling her hair out. "The baby crawls all over the house and I can't keep up with him! He draws on the walls with his brother's crayons, he eats out of the Chihuahua's supper dish, pulled on the tablecloth and nearly dropped the flower vase, and he screams every time we watch 'The Price is Right' !"

"Well, a lot of people have been screaming since Bob Barker retired," Tony answered.

"Honey, I want a solution, not sarcasm!" Ricki fired back.

"Well... how about buying a playpen? It's higher than the baby can reach, and using it will keep him out of trouble. We can go to Wal-Mart right now if you'd like."

Ricki thought it was a great idea, so they went to the store and bought a playpen.

The next day, Tony came home to see his wife relaxed and the baby asleep on the couch with his blanky. "So, babe, how did it go with the playpen?"

"Wonderful!" Ricki answered. "When I got into the playpen with my devotional book and cup of chamomile tea, the baby left me alone!"

What does Ricki Lee put in that tea?  :)
