I Blame My Mother

Ben loves to clean. I know, go figure. How could the product of Josh and I possibly LIKE to clean? But I know who to blame. My mother! My mom is the cleanest person I know. She and my dad run a tight ship and you really could eat off her floors. And the organizational stuff is crazy. EVERYTHING is labeled and in its proper place. When I went to see Sleeping with the Enemy with my parents, after the scene where Julia Roberts is madly arranging things in her house so that all is neat before her husband comes home, my mom leans over to me and say "That's what it''s like living with your father". But as far as I am concerned they are perfect for each other. Two neat peas in a pod.So back to Ben. Sometimes when we are getting ready to go somewhere Ben will say that he can't come. He's cleaning. And every time he sees a cleaning implement he says "Nana". My mom laughs, but I know that she is secretly very pleased.
