Dear First People Who Will Arrive at My House Today

Published by Danielle under Uncategorized

Whoever you may be. Please look at my floors. Please notice the floors. Please walk through my house and enjoy the fantastic freshly-mopped-ness of all the hardwood.

But hurry. Because when 47 people come trampling through a short while later, some might notice the floors, but it won’t be for their fantastic freshly-mopped-ness. In fact, some people might say that it seems almost silly for me to have spent so much time mopping the entire house before a barrage of guests, the majority of whom are under the age of 10.

But I am woman. And this is what we do. I am doing it for you, dear first people who will arrive at my house today. Appreciate me.
