QUICK CLEAN UP

UNEXPECTED GUESTS WERE ON THE WAY,

AND MY MOTHER,

AN IMPECCABLE HOUSEKEEPER,

RUSHED AROUND STRAIGHTENING UP.

SHE PUT MY FATHER AND BROTHER TO

WORK CLEANING THE GUEST BATHROOM.

LATER, WHEN SHE WENT TO INSPECT IT,

SHE WAS SURPRISED THAT THE

ONCE-CLUTTERED ROOM HAD BEEN

TIDIED UP SO QUICKLY.

THEN SHE SAW THE NOTE ON THE

CLOSED SHOWER CURTAINS.

IT READ

"THANK YOU FOR NOT LOOKING IN THE BATHTUB."
