Innumerable questions have been bandied about for years, decades, centuries…Is there life on other planets? Does Spontaneous Human Combustion really happen? How many licks does it take to get to the centre of the Tootsie Pop*? (This one, I think, has been answered.) How grody does the bathroom have to get before someone will clean it?
I’m not sure how it is in other peoples’ homes, but in mine, they believe in The Toilet Fairy. Santa Claus? Pshaw! The Easter Bunny? I laugh up my sleeve! Yet how else can it be explained – one enters the bathroom and it is messy. A short time later, *POOF* it is clean. The Toilet Fairy of course!
(And it isn’t just the children who believe this.)
Never have I purported to be Suzy Homemaker. Never have been, never will be. While I believe there are better things to do than clean house, I do prefer when mine looks neat and tidy. It’s really not that difficult a thing to do.
One time…my frustration level had reached an all-time high. I thought it might be interesting to discover how long until someone actually complained about the state of the bathroom. (Kids, don’t try this at home!) I cleaned as I usually do, and then waited. And waited. Waited some more. And waited, again.
My experiment was a dismal failure. Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore and The Toilet Fairy again paid my household a call.
