Monster

My mom is a clean freak. She hates when the house is messy, so, naturally, all she does is clean. Oh, and read her Bible. That's about it. Well, my mom always tries to find new things that will clean better. The swiffer. All these other sprays and stuff. Well, usually she just kinda gives up on things, or never buys more supplies for them. Well, my sister got her those Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, and let me tell you.. She is in love with that thing! The first time she tried it she was amazed.

I was sitting in my room when I heard my mom call my name, "Melissa! Come here, look!" she shouted.
I walked down the hall towards her voice and her soft laughter, "What?" I asked while searching for her.
She was sitting on the floor with one of those Magic Erasers with a look of pure joy on her face. "Look how clean the kitchen is!" she stated.
I looked around at all the cabinets and then at the refridgerator, "Wow. Nice." I commented with not even half of her enthusiasm.
"I know! Watch." she instructed me. She then began to scrub at another cabinet door. It worked wonders, and the cabinet door was clean in no time. It was really white, and my mom just got giddy all over again. "See!"
I nodded my head, "Wow, that's really cool. Is that one of those Mr. Clean Magic Erasers?" I asked her nonchalantly. I figured that she had picked these up on her own.
"They have a name?! Marie only gave me one.." her brow furrowed like a little girls.
"Oh, well I'm sure they have more at WalMart." I said happily.
Her eyes lit up, "Oh yeah! I'll need to go get some more..."



Next day at WalMart she sends me on a mission. Find those 'magic thingys'. Yes ma'am! I go to the cleaning aisle and I see them almost right away. A pack of four. This should do. I grab it and go back to my mom, "Only four?" she asks.
"Uh, yeah..." I say while glancing at the box. "I thought that it would be enough." I tried to validate myself.
"Were there any bigger packs?" she asked.
I tried to remember if I saw any packs that were bigger, "No." I said simply.
"Oh, alright. That's just enough for everyone in the house then." she dropped them in the cart and walked away. Everyone in the house? She has gone mad.

Once we get home she busts the bad boys out and starts cleaning everything. I laugh and go in my room. I come back out awhile later and she is cleaning the wall. Marie, do you see what you have created? She was cleaning the WALL.
