CLEANING WITH THE KIDS

Quigley Family Toilet Cleaner

1. Mother Gwen (wearing her tutu) calls a meeting, then puts both lids of the toilet up and adds 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.


2. Garth picks up the cat and soothes her while Lee carries Mitzie towards the bathroom.


3. In one smooth movement, Mig puts the cat in the toilet and closes both lids. Bry stands on the lids.


4. Mitzie self agitates and makes ample suds. Never mind the noises that came from the toilet, the cat was actually enjoying this.


5. Mels flushes the toilet three or four times. This provides a 'power-wash and rinse'.


6. Mork opens the front door of our Lakewood home. Reese is sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.


7. All kids stand behind the toilet or as far out of the way as possible and Gwennie quickly lifts both lids.


8. Mitzie rockets out of the toilet, streaks through the bathroom, down the stairs and runs outside where she will dry herself off, cursing the “little angels” in cat language.


9. Both the commode and the cat are sparkling clean.

10. All "innocent" Quigley kids all claim accomplishment and responsibility for cleaning the bathroom and grooming the cat so nicely. They all deny any knowledge of where the water throughout the house came from, and then ask the Supreme Mother for treats as she pulls into the driveway after grocery shopping!



that's my story and I'm sticking to it! luv...pops
