The common denominator

When I was growing up our home was in a constant state of organized chaos. These days my parent's home is amazingly clean. "So what is it," I wondered, "that has caused my mother to become so fastidious in her later years?"

Our four children have been at the in-laws for the past 3 days. And by golly, wouldn't you know it, my house has been clean!


And that's when it dawned on me. Maybe, my mom has always been fastidious. We just did a really excellent job at counteracting her tendencies.
