A Housekeeping Quiz

What happens in your house when you get so friggin' tired of cleaning up after people who refuse to clean up after themselves that you finally decide to stop cleaning everything?

b) after a time, someone notices the mess they've made, and they clean it up
c) your spouse asks if you're feeling sick
d) you realize that even dirt can get dirtier because no one does a damn thing

OH! OH! OH! I know! I know!

I've repeatedly tried this trick...it's D! The answer is D!

And then you get e) You go on a tirade getting the house clean and lovely once again, and threaten everyone within it that they will be strung up by their pinky toes under penalty of death for not helping to keep it clean for at least 3 days.

(It's the most you can reasonably hope for. ;)

Answer D for me. Of course, it would be nice if they did more cleaning while I really am sick so that I wouldn't have so much to do when I actually get better (if I ever do at this point)

Oh yes, D is the answer! Sometimes I feel like no one would notice I was gone until they got hungry or ran out of clean clothes.

a) That would be you

b) You again

c) Tell him yes

d) yeah, it does doesn't it.

PS: Tell hubby how hot he looks when he cleans the house. You may never have to clean again!
