Mommunism

     I've been called a lot of things, and one that I really resemble is a Mommunist. How this political take over started in my own home was quite innocent enough. One day, disgusted with the state of affairs at our (compound), namely the little capitalists leaving dirty dishes behind them in every room, it occurred to me that if  President Bush could have an initiative called "No child left behind," then I could have a little initiative of my own called, "No dish left behind!" Well, that's all I had to say and I was justifiably accused of being a Mommunist.

 

     The definition of socialism is an ideology with the core belief that a society should exist in which popular collectives control the means of power, and therefore the means of production.

If that doesn't sound like my job I don't know what does!

 

If the shoe fits, wear it! If the dish is dirty - take it back to the kitchen!

Never heard of a mommunist, but I like it... I'll have to remember to use it with the wife...

Sometimes, I think I'm considered a POPulist by my children... Especially after coming home from work and being asked by the children if they can do things which mommy had already said NO to.

Poor things, they think they're so deprived by the elite member of our household.
