If I or my siblings didn’t clean our room or pick up after ourselves elsewhere in the house when asked, my Mom would clean up after us. Of course, anything she had to pick up was removed from our ownership for at least a week (except school stuff—it wasn’t that easy to pull one over on her!)
My dad had a simple rule, if you don’t pick it up, it gets thrown out. He only had to act on that rule once with me but a few times with my brother. I’m considering enacting that rule with my own daughter.
wow. heart is more powerful than i am. i’m a grown woman with a mom whose knees don’t permit her to come upstairs and inspect my room. doesn’t stop her from nagging on the subject. tatulli, can you tell me heart’s secrets? i’ll pay. if need be
I make my bed as soon as I get up. An unmade bed is just not comfortable, and there is nothing to gain by putting it off. I like to put things away so I can find them again.

If Heart’s mother won’t do it nor Heart herself, who’s going to do it? Certainly not Mrs. Angelini. Maybe Dean will… for a fee.

I can’t really tell anymore when these strips are recycled or new takes on the same joke.
