Two Kids and a Clean House

How does that happen?

Last year, for my birthday, my very generous mother gave me the gift of bi-weekly housecleaning for six months.  Since my birthday was relatively close to JayBird's due date, I was even more excited than I would have been otherwise, if that's even possible.  "Miss Beth", the cleaning lady, came for the last time in September 2012.  Then, I received a gift of housecleaning for January and February for my birthday in 2013.  Although we tried very hard to be out of the house when Miss Beth arrived, there were plenty of times when we didn't quite make it out in time.  Kay Kay, of course, was very comfortable following her around, studying her clothes, her equipment, and supervising her work.

Recently, after Miss Beth had made her final visit, Kay Kay said to me, "Mama, when is Miss Beth coming back?"

"Miss Beth is all finished here.  She won't be coming back."

You know what she asked me next?  "Who's going to clean our house, then, Mama?"

...joke's on you, kid.

JayBird just tried to stay out of the way.

That's his story, and he's sticking to it.
