We do our regular chores (I bathe Penny every night while Kevin sweeps all the floors) and clean up after ourselves. Occasionally Kevin's mom has some other chores she wants done, and she pays Kevin to do them.
For instance, the kitchen has some large drawers where the bread, pastas, cereals, etc. are kept. Kevin's job was to vacuum out the bottoms of the drawers. I didn't notice it, but there may have been a crumb there. So he pulled everything out (which was pretty easy, since it's all in baskets so the food isn't actually on the bottom of the drawer) and vacuumed them out.
I do my part.
Tonight I made a pumpkin pie. Instead of adding 1/2 cup sugar, I put in some Stevia, a sugar substitute. I decided this would allow me to add 1/2 cup more pumpkin, so I rounded up and added an extra 3/4 cup pumpkin.
I've made pie before, so I know that as you pour it into the pie shell, it looks like it's going to overflow. I got to that point and saw that there was more than 3/4 cup left in my bowl. Obviously, this meant there was still room in the pie shell. I poured almost all of it in, and the pie shell finally had enough. It betrayed me, dumping pumpkin-egg-goo all over the floor and down the fronts of the cupboards-- and into the drawers. Oops!
Thankfully, though, I'd seen Kevin clean them, and I knew that you simply had to lift out the baskets o' pasta in order to clean out the junk all over the bottom. And since Kevin had already vacuumed them out, it was all ready for me to mop!
