The family stereo types.

rimturseMe? One of my labels is being a bad housewife.
So it's not surprising that my cousin collapsed in a heap of giggles yesterday upon hearing that I'm washing the windows and doors outside over a period of days, when she easily does hers in one go.
I will, hands down, admit that even considering that her mother comes to clean her place once a week, she is by far the better housewife of the two of us. Her place is always spotless, mine is rarely so, but in this case, let's do the maths, shall we?
She has:
9 windows
2 doors
1 terrace door
I have:
24* windows of which 10 can only be reached by ladder
5 fly nets
3 doors
1 double french door
1 single french door
DISCLAIMER: I'm not grumpy about it at all, I merely find it intriguing.

*there are 25, but one can only be reached by either crawling onto the roof or bringing the ladder inside the house, so it needs to be significantly dirtier than it is now before I'll do anything about it.

has washed two windows out of 11 windows, a double French door, garage door windows (one door, two garage doors) in the last er um six months.
(p.s. It would be worse if we hadn't had new windows put in last summer. They'd be dirtier and still unwashed.)

Who is the worst housewife now? :D
