Not in the job description

One of the chores I hate most is picking up the dog poop in the yard. I dislike this chore for obvious reasons, but one not-so-obvious reason is the fact that I inevitably end up with Joe Walsh's song "Ordinary Average Guy" stuck in my head. The main problem with this is the only lyrics from the song I know are "pick up the dog doo and hope that it's hard" and I have it running through my head the entire time I'm scooping. I'm having an outdoor playgroup here tomorrow and since my husband so nicely agreed to mow the lawn in the heat, I decided it would be pushing it a bit to ask him to deal with the dog doo as well, even if it is my birthday. So I told Ethan "I'll give you $5.00 if you pick up the dog poop". His response: "Uh, that's not on my chore chart". Hee Hee. Abby's response: "I pick up the poop mommy, I put on my gloves!". Hummm. I opted to do it myself and now I have that song running through my head again. Maybe I should learn the rest of the lyrics so it's not quite so annoying.
