The Real Happy Ever After

‘And they got married and lived happily ever after.’
‘Mum?’
‘Yes, love?’
‘But was it happily ever after? I mean… was she really happy washing his dirty clothes and doing all the ironing and sweeping and stuff?’
‘Well, I guess so. If you love someone, you don’t mind cleaning up after them…’
‘But if they love you, surely they don’t make a mess in the first place? I don’t want to clean up after someone, and I don’t want them to clean up after me…’
‘Uh…’
‘I'm going to have a cleaner when I’m bigger.’

Now that’s happy ever after
