Joy of Cleaning

You’ve seen my lists. You’re wondering how I have time to post. Well, here’s an interesting conversation I had with my nieces Kaitlin (9) and Leona (7) after I picked them up at the train.

K: Is there anything for us to DO at your house?
Me: Well, we’re really busy cleaning and getting ready for our holiday.
K: Can we help?!
L: I get to do the bathroom!!!
K: Awww.
Me: Don’t worry, girls. We have two bathrooms.

They had a minor conflict over who got to do the bigger bathroom.

I’m totally serious about this.

They then fetched and carried for me all through the rest of the day. The result: I sit here, writing this post, waiting for take-out dinner to arrive, listening to the Barenaked Ladies ‘Barenaked for the Holidays.’ Just a second. I have to get some egg nog.
