Have you ever watched the monstrosity that is Wife Swap? It's on Lifetime. You don't have to admit that you watch it. (But I do.) The whole point of Wife Swap is: 2 families with totally different living styles, values, and parenting ways switch moms for 2 weeks. The first week, the very clean wife has to live in a pigsty with people that hate her and the dirty lady has to live with people that scrub the floor tiles with a toothbrush (sadly I am not exaggerating). The second week, the wives get to change the families "rules" and basically are the bosses.
"Lucifer just raised his leg and out came you."-Husband, during rules change
This leads to a lot of very awkward situations and some very angry people who are not very smart spouting off in front of the camera. The following are some excerpts I have found hilarious:
Wife says "I just think it would be much more nutritious and smart to go eat fast food instead of making their own food."
Husband says (angrily) "If you don't stop this dee-mean-or-ing attitude..."
There are plenty more, but by the end of the show, your mind is so mushy it is hard to pull quotes out.
Invariably, one family is clean, structured, and well bred. However, they are usually too much of one of those things. The other family is dirty, and poor(er) because of following hobbies (like running a carnival, being in the community theatre, or being bounty hunters), and have no rules. A bunch of yellin' and hollerin' later, each family learns something and may or may not change their behavior for the better.
Yay, everyone is improved. Except for me. Who could've been napping. Naps are goooooddddddd.....
