After having gotten up the second time yesterday, I commented that before I came down, I'd had this thought of how "the guys" had all worked together and thourally cleaned the house ....
Kayla (Brent's girlfriend) responded with a very sympathetic sounding "Aw ww www..." :->
Brent interrupted her with a, "Obviously you were still asleep and dreaming mom" 8-p
And Benson's voice floated in from the other room with, "What kind of pills did you say they have you on mom?" 8-p
A bit later, after admitting defeat (the spinning was winning), I stopped in the living room for a second where Benson and Brandon were. I commented, "You know, it would be really great if you guys did all pitch in, and when I get back up the house was all picked up" {all hints fully implied and intended!!!}
Benson - "It's not really possible for us to pick the house up, seeings how we don't really know where most of the stuff goes, but we could tidy up a bit."
Me - "While you might not know where some of the stuff in the dining room should go, you could put away the clean dishes and even wash the dirty ones, and you could clean this living room to the point of even vacuuming it, and you could go ahead and do the laundry yourself ...." (again - all hints fully implied and intended!!!)
Benson - "well, we could tidy up a bit, but shouldn't vacuum since dad is sleeping, and if we did pick the house up, where would we put it?"
While I was contemplating what I should and shouldn't say, Brandon piped up with -
"Right back down on it's foundation - - DUH!!!" chuckle chuckle
I started laughing - right out loud - couldn't help myself. Nor could I stop, which meant I ended up holding my head because laughing hurt!!!! But it was really good for my spirits!
