Whenever Jack finishes brushing his teeth, he turns to me with a toothy grin and says, "look at my sparkely teeth!" Lewis has borrowed the toothpaste tonight.
Jack likes having things clean. Sometimes he'll want to wash his hands even before he is done eating if they get sticky in the process. He likes to have his room neat and orderly. Bernie is the same way. It's not that I wouldn't prefer that everything be in its place. It's just that between the both of us working more than full-time and also being parents, there is not a lot of time to spend cleaning and organizing.
Bernie likes to bring order to chaos. This translates into him doing things like the laundry, vacuuming, emptying and loading the dishwasher, cleaning out the refigerator, and picking up in general. I am sure I am missing a few things off the list. I am also sure that he will tell me what they are after he reads this post. Regardless, these are chores that many other similarly situated husbands would refuse to do. I am lucky in that Bernie says cleaning is one of the few things he actually has control over in his life - LOL.
Bernie already asked who was going to clean up Lewis' graffitti. I wonder if Jack will ask the same thing when he gets up in the morning.
