Dirty! All Dirty!
My daughter is a slave driver.
Her latest obsession is pointing out the ALL places around the house that fall below acceptable standards of “clean.” And she continues to point them out until I have taken care of the problem.
I just finished vacuuming remnants of a chewed up bouncy ball (thanks, Dog) from the office carpet, and now she has immediately moved on to the tile, pointing out the places where incoming shoes have left tracks. It’s “Aw dody! Dody, Mama, aw dody!”
So I clean the “all dirty” spots on the floor to find that she has now noticed my shoes, which took a muddy beating on a walk one morning.
“Dody sooss! Aw dody, aw dody!”
She hates having dirty hands. To the point where if she falls while romping around outside, she will lay on her belly, arms flailing in the air, a look of near-panic on her face, and wait for me to come pick her up - because getting up by herself would mean soiling her hands by putting them in contact with the “Dody! Dody! Dody!” ground.
Sigh. At least my house is cleaner.

hahahahahahahaha. that’s hilarious. Boy am I glad that Katy doesn’t point it out to that point. Instead she just brings me random things she has found on the floor at which point I must investigate and then clean it up. Or……. sometimes I just nod my head, put the tiny object on the counter and keep doing what I’m doing. It’s easier that way.
