Ben by Daniel Shelton for May 31, 2021

I want one of her.

I generally just wash the floor beneath and vacuum the back of the frig, once a year or maybe less. Who can tell, but me?

Especially when there’s a full moon.

It’s a good idea to clean the dust from the coils (if you have them) and the compressor motor at least annually.

Actually, from Ben’s angle, he can think of better things to do!

And you just know certain ‘company’ will look behind your refrigerator. My mother-in-law comes to mind.

A toothbrush is a strange choice, but cleaning behind the fridge does lessen the likelihood of bugs dancing about the house.

I have a stash of old toothbrushes for cleaning tiny spaces, but can no longer get off the floor unassisted. I have no idea what is or isn’t behind the fridge.

She’s preparing things for the maid.

What kind of company?

A Marine Corps D.I. will look. Believe me, he will look.

I won’t let my wife see this. Her idea of getting the house ready for company is to make it look like no one has ever lived there, but you clean it twice a week anyway.
