“The columns, the stickers and the thrilling camaraderie of dusting in family unity. The kids are going to love this!”

4. Stockpiling the supplies

“I’ve got bathroom bleach, kitchen bleach, laundry bleach and floor bleach. But I think I might really need this microwave bleach, too. Yes, definitely.”

5. Contemplating divorce over a minor infraction

“I swear on the grave of my childhood hamster, if he leaves his jeans on the bathroom floor one more time, I’m bailing on this whole charade.”

6. Looking forward to laundry day

“I see it. I see it, but it’s not polite to reach across the table to pick it up. Oh my God, she just swept it onto the floor!

8. Taking toilet paper very seriously

10. Trying to play it cool

“Play it cool. This is a dinner party. This is fun, play it cool. But holy crap, how do these pigs not see the mess they’re making?”

11. Compromising is not an option

“No, I will not chill out. Just hand me the broom — it’s easier than trying to reason with all of you Neanderthals.”
