The following is an email from my mom after she read my earlier post about what a mess I've made of our bedroom.
"Dear xiao mei,
So you are busy all the times so you do not have time to clean your room?!
Are you sure Drew is ok with you? Drew is such a nice husband!!
How I wish I can fly there to clean for you!
Someday you will be able to make a lot of money to hire a cleaning lady!"
To this I would like to say--although the damage has already been done as my mother is obviously alarmed--that I am an EXCELLENT toilet scrubber. I also spend every night wiping our bathroom floor. And the kitchen trashcan is PRISTINE. I wipe down and disinfect the lid and sides like nobody's business. It's probably the cleanest trashcan in all of Manhattan.
