DD5: i am cleaning my room!
Me: nice - i thought you were doing your school reading.
DD5: oh, i will, but i am procrastinating by cleaning my room. at least it's productive procrastination!

ps - Madoosa, that is AWESOME collaboration. to include a person who isn't even in the room?? fantastic. stuff like this makes really me wish we'd had another, but then i look at her and think... uh, this one is enough!

Every Sunday it brooded and lay on the floor. Inconveniently close to the drawing-room door.
