The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house and there was no sign of the dog.
Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall.
In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon, and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing.
In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor,a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door.
He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she may be ill, or that something serious had happened. He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor.
Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls. As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel.
She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, "What happened here today?"
She again smiled and answered, "You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world did I do today?"
"Yes," was his incredulous reply.
She answered, "Well, today I didn't do it."

Third Watch , is a tv series which were supposed to give us a glimpse into how all three elements – police, firefighters and paramedics – worked together in New York City.
” getting down and dirty right at the start of their shift. Viewers got to see what it’s like being a rookie paramedic working his first nasty car accident. They learned what it’s like for a rookie cop on his first day of patrol. They saw what it’s like for firemen running into full-blown fires, never knowing if this fire might be their last. They learned about the danger involved for any first responder – not just cops – when there is a weapon involved. 
In watching the retrospective featurette and learning what went into making Third Watch, I have to give kudos to the creators. It was a stroke of genius to combine police, fire and paramedics rather than simply focusing on one department or the other. This was totally unchartered territory and it’s what made Third Watch unique. Using actual police and firefighters as consultants was also a stroke of genius in that it ensured that much of the show would be believable. Having them appear in cameos and sometimes recurring roles was just as intelligent. Who better to play a fireman than a real fireman, right?
I also have to thank them for creating such terrific characters and then casting them with actors who somehow made viewers forget they were watching a fictional drama. The actors were so believable in their roles that it is sometimes hard to see them on other television shows now that Third Watch is over.
