Show Honorthe Dusters, Scrubbers, and ShinersWeek ..Parowan - I've always maintained that you can tell how a women manges her housework by the way she keeps her car. You've seen those cars that have shiny chrome even when it's muddy, the ones with mirrors you can see in, and carpets without rubber matts covered with ground in dirt. Just freshly vacuumed instead. Even the push buttons on the radio are free of dust. under the seat and onto the street in front of the church. There are flashlights "that don't light', screw drivers, and broken window scrapers under there that have been there so lone thev'll soon be treasured antiques. I've heard that there are even some people in this world that have such clean ash trays they use them as change holders. Wedont' use ours for ashes but they seem to be always overflowing Well, these are the same ladies who would not care if you looked under their beds or ran your finger along the top of the door case. They are the dusters, the shiners and the scrubbers. They have a muscle in the scrubbing arm that could defeat Mohamed Ali in an arm wrestle. Oh, how I envy them, can you imagine the humiliation the rest of us go through? The upholstery in our cars is spotted from unsuccessful tries at trusting five kids in the car with jumbo size assorted chocolate and vanilla ice cream cones. Our windshields have a fine white line of wax on the inside from paper cups of root beer on the dash board. And one day when I was hauling a group of ladies to a church meeting, they opened the door to get out and were preceded by a potato, a half eaten apple and an empty pop can that rolled out from with bits of tissue, and toil gum wrappers complete with used gum. Of course that does help to entertain the kids when you leave them in the car. There's nothing a baby likes better than eating and scattering the contents of the ash trays. They'll also decorate the windows with finger marks on the inside and draw pictures in the dust on the outside. Then you're branded, everyone will know tha the ice cream stains, fingerprints, and miss-placed miss-placed potatoes are a part of the decor inside the house as well as the car. So if you want to find friends you'll be comfortable with, call me or pick out the ones with the dirty hub caps and the end of a roll of toilet paper hanging out the bottom of the closed car door. |
