Housekeeping Cleaning Fnny Quote
Our house is clean enough to be healthy, and dirty enough to be happy. – Author Anonymous
Well, housecleanin’ time is with us once more;
And, landsakes alive, it’s an awful chore!
What with scrubbin’, rubbin’, and washin’ paint,
It’s not any picnic; you bet it ain’t!…
For it has to be done each Spring and Fall:
The attic and cellar, bedrooms and hall.
Each room, in its order, gives up its dirt,
Till I am weary and my back does hurt!
– Gertrude Tooley Buckingham, “Housecleanin’ Time” (1940s)

Don’t cook. Don’t clean. No man will ever make love to a woman because she waxed the linoleum – “My God, the floor’s immaculate. Lie down, you hot bitch.” – Joan Rivers
The washing of dishes does seem to me the most absurd and unsatisfactory business that I ever undertook. If, when once washed, they would remain clean for ever and ever (which they ought in all reason to do, considering how much trouble it is), there would be less occasion to grumble; but no sooner is it done, than it requires to be done again. On the whole, I have come to the resolution not to use more than one dish at each meal. – Nathaniel Hawthorne
I am thankful for a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home…. I am thankful for the piles of laundry and ironing because it means my loved ones are nearby. – Nancie J. Carmody

Home, be shining fair to-day
For the guest whose name is May!

Cleaning and Housekeeping

Cleanliness is next to impossible. – Author Anonymous
The obvious and fair solution to the housework problem is to let men do the housework for, say, the next six thousand years, to even things up. The trouble is that men, over the years, have developed an inflated notion of the importance of everything they do, so that before long they would turn housework into just as much of a charade as business is now. They would hire secretaries and buy computers and fly off to housework conferences in Bermuda, but they’d never clean anything. – Dave Barry

Few tasks are more like the torture of Sisyphus than housework, with its endless repetition: the clean becomes soiled, the soiled is made clean, over and over, day after day. – Simone de Beauvoir
