It's almost as good as wiping them on the tablecloth!

This is your Goddaughter's particular favorite, I'm sorry to say! Can I send her there for training? Thanks, Jen,

When I saw you have a male in your home who actually cleans up spills, albeit with his foot, I thought, 'oh my, you've got it good, sister!' I just got home from being away for a few days and my husband has progressed to the point where he will load the dishwasher, but, for some reason, going that extra mile of putting the soap in and pushing the button, is beyond him. Sure enough, when I returned, the dishwasher was full of dirty dishes and the sink was heaped with more.

A friend was recently out of town for a week, leaving her husband and son to fend for themselves. When she arrived home, she found a sandwich on the floor by the sofa. WITH A FOOTPRINT IN IT. Not only had someone dropped a whole sandwich on the floor, they proceeded to leave it there long enough that it was forgotten and STEPPED ON. And then they went the extra mile and left it there again. Yow. All excellent tips, but I feel compelled to mention that you forgot the favored cleaning method of all time: NOT CLEANING AT ALL.
