The Comet on the Counter...

I will update this blog soon.

There. I said it.

When I was a child, my mother would find an undone chore (messy bathroom or kitchen counter, toilet, bath tub or oven) and sprinkle it with the green, gritty, powdered cleanser, Comet. It would supposedly FORCE SOMEONE to wipe it clean before it could be used, and hypothetically induce the completion of chores. Sometimes it would sit there for DAYS.

We jokingly refer to this technique as "the Comet on the counter". My husband derides me for this tendency, which I deny, but to my chagrin, find myself doing. Case in point. As I wrote the first line of this blog, it dawned on me--it was "Comet on the counter"! Sheesh.....
