Can’t Stay Away

OK, so there’s a certain allure to spending the weekend at a suburban inn, cutting loose with an academic presentation and then coasting through the weekend, sleeping when you like and watching Office Space (for the first time) just ’cos it’s on TV. But who can stay away from a daughter who spends Sunday diligently cleaning out the kitchen?


Clean countertop with a scrawled sign that says, Clean Up After Yourself, Pleaze!

Notice the sign above the counter: now, that’ll keep us from messing things up again.

Then again, this is from the same wonderful daughter who painted for herself this sign:


Work now, be happy later

I have a photo of a bag of leftovers from our Mexican restaurant; I’d post it, but the contrast is too low. Pippa wrote on the bag, “This means you! If you eat my food, I have to deal with you - Pippa.”

No one ate her food, I assure you.

Sorry Pippa, (I misquoted you. Yours is much better. I'm being happy!

Wow... countertops. Tell Pippa I'm impressed; that's serious archaeology.

Do you think she'd like to help with your office? (^_^)
