Happy

Daniel was a new man last night. He had been jumping on the bed in the master bedroom, wreaking havoc while Amy was trying to fold laundry, and she was not terribly happy with the arrangement. Then she had a sudden stroke of brilliance, and set him up on the floor in a corner of the bedroom folding clothes. In short order, the two were working side by side, looking very happy, and after the fact, Amy was raving about how helpful Daniel had been.

And it became obvious that Daniel was enjoying his new, generative role when he suddenly announced:

"I've never had a happier day in my life, of doing laundry."
