Philosophy of Housecleaning
1. I don't do windows because...
I love birds and don't want one to run into a clean window and get hurt.
(I am compassionate.)
2. I don't wax floors because...
I am terrified a guest will slip, hurt themselves, I'll feel terrible and they may sue me.
(I am careful and poor.)
3. I don't mind the dust bunnies because...
they are very good company. I have named some of them, and they agree with everything I say.
(I am imaginative.)
4. I don't disturb cobwebs because...
I want every creature to have a home of their own and my family loves spiders.
(I am kind.)
5. I don't Spring Clean because...
I love all the seasons and don't want the others to get jealous.
(I am fair-minded.)
6. I don't plant a garden because...
I don't want to get in God's way, He is an excellent designer.
(I am courteous.)
7. I don't put things away because... my family will never be able to find them again.
(I am considerate.)
8. I don't do gourmet meals when I entertain because...
I don't want my guests to stress out over what to make when they invite me over to dinner.
9. I don't iron because... I choose to believe them when they say "permanent press".
(I am trusting.)
10. I don't stress much on anything because... "A-Type Personalities" die young and I want to stick around and become a wrinkled up crusty old woman!!!
