I've found this small test, which is kind of fun;
here's a list of things all happening at the same time, read through the list and then write down the order in which you would do the things listed ;
1° someone knocks at the door
2° the watertap is leaking
3° your laundry is outside and it has started to rain
4° the baby cries
5° the phone rings
So, go throug it again and see if you would really do the things in that order...
Then check your list with the list underneath, since every item stands for something else
1° the people knocking at the door refers to your friends
2° the leaking watertap refers to sex
3° the laundry hanging outside refers to money
4° the baby refers to your family
5° the phone ringing refers to your work,
so, what's most important to you? I'd like to read your lists and especially your comments to this test.
My personal list is:
1- baby
2- the tap
3- the laundry
4- the door
5- the telephone
I thought about it this way when I made the list (and obviously didn't know the meaning, because then I would have made it differently); I pick up the crying baby, soothe him whilst turning the tap, get the laundry on my way to the door and whilst letting the people in pick up the phone. I especially put the phone last since I have caller ID and can always call back, if it's someone important at the door they'll wait because they know I'm always doing other things on my way to the door, and if it's a door to door salesman or a Jehova's witness, they'll be gone by the time I reach the door...

Damn Karen, you made me look like a wuzzie on this test.
I would have done things in this order:
1 the baby
2 the door
3 the phone
4 the laundry
5 the watertap
Now, I'll try to explain it to you like you did... : First I would pick up the baby of course, then run to the door en let the people in (...if they are friends, if they would be salesman, I thank them for passing by and close the door). Then I would grap my phone and pick up the laundry (I hate laundry and I hate rain, but hell who not...?). And finally when all things are done I'd close the tap and I'll go sitting with my company... Hmmm
You see I look like an indoor housewife... thanks for that one, Karen.
I think i'm know obliged to says if i would know what every item means, i would have put the baby first, then the tap and there the list ends.
Well that fixes my image. Not?
And off the record, for adding extra comment: this test can say a lot about people; or not at all.
Bye bye Karen, enjoy your day! ;)

Right, here we go, and you can probably tell I'm a childless bastard. My order would be:
1. door
2. baby
3. laundry
4. tap
5. phone
I think I'd do the door first because if it's friends I can ask them to get the laundry in while I look after the baby and get the tap sorted out.
I don't agree that the baby "stands for" family though. Because in that case I'd rank it lowest on the list, but that'd make me a bastard father.
Anyway, I wouldn't really answer the phone at all... they'll call back if it's important. So yeah, I guess that's my attitude to work. Nice if you have, don't matter if you don't. :-)
lolz, zero-two-zero
I dissagree with pretty much everything of what those things stand for :p but hey it's a test :P should be funny
I had
1. baby
2. phone
3. door
4. laundry
5. tap
Here's why:
The baby first cause well.. you just can't let your baby cry can you, than I'ld take the phone as seeing baby is prolly crying in a room and not in front of the frontdoor the phone would be on my way to the door, I'ld open the door & see who it is cause if I know them they can help me get the laundry & than the tap cause.. well.. who cares if your tap leaks a bit.. :P
so..
1. family (if I'ld known that they would've been last
2. work.. prolly would've come second
after my 3th the door who if I had known would clearly come first
4. money.. probably somewhere here.. don't care much about money
5. sex.. well. .also prolly right as I can't have it anyway till I'm married..
LOL, cheers for the reactions mates! :)
PHASMA; you don't look like an indoor housewife, you have work right in the middle of family, friends on top and money and sex on the bottom. I think it just draws you the way you are; kind, caring and absolutely brilliant! and the fact that the tap came last you can see that you need to unwind your day after caring for family, friends, work, and money! :-)
Zero-two-zero: being a father is having a family, it doesn't really mean that that baby stands for your parents, your family can be anyone you consider family and this means that you already put them second on your list, so once you have them, they'll surely come first! :)
El Shorty, of course you put the baby first, you know what a pain in the arse a crying baby is, isn't it? And even if you'd have known, you wouldn't have put them last, you adore them, and it just takes time for you to see that too and to be able to say it out loud! :)
