This week’s Fraudulently Asked Questions is with Tina. Which, yeah, is kind of weird. Since I’m the (fraudulent) asker and (fraudulent) responder, I might as well, I don’t know, write a blog post.
But where’s the fun in that?
FAQ #1: So, Tina, you’re buying a beach house today! Are you worried about maintaining a second home? After all, you often seem overwhelmed with taking care of your current home.
Tina: Yes, I am overwhelmed with cleaning our current home. I mean, just with the sixteen pairs of shoes every single person leaves by the door. And the clothes they drop in a trail around the house. Oh, the wrappers really drive me crazy. When they open a package of ANYTHING each and every one leaves out the wrapper so I can solve the “guess what I just ate?!” mystery. And I could wallpaper my home with the empty Capri Suns they leave on the patio. But, no, I don’t foresee the family doing that at the BEACH HOUSE.
FAQ #2: What about the sand? And the wet bathing suits? And the flip-flops they’re sure to pile by the door? Also, won’t they drink lots of Capri Sun at the beach? Plus, isn’t the kitchen at the new beach house the size of a postage stamp? With no cabinet space, won’t that be hard to keep clean?
Tina: Ummmmm. I’m really counting on the idea that they’ll all want to be extra neat at the beach. Maybe THIS will be the time they focus more on tidying up. Hopefully, at the beach, they’ll want to do nothing else but the dishes with mom!
