Mostly True Memoirs
A DANGEROUS GAME OF JENGA
Am I the only one who cleans the house before I go on a trip?
But I know that I will be tired and most likely cranky when I come home.
I will want clean bathrooms and clean sheets.
And food stocked up so I won’t have to rush off to the grocery store.
I warned the Grown Sons that I expect the house to be clean when I get home.
Last time I went away they did a pretty good job.
Except for the dish drainer.
They had washed their dishes, but they didn’t put anything away.
They were each terrified that they might accidentally put away their brother’s things.
God forbid.
It was a dangerous game of Jenga that they were playing.
One more spoon might have resulted in disaster.
I got home just in the nick of time.
I may insist on some Facetime calls with the dish drainer while I’m gone.
Just to be on the safe side.
