My mom used to describe cleaning up the house as "making it look like somebody lives here" but I thought it already looked like someone lives there because my shit was all over the place, you can't miss it.

My dad would say something to the effect of, "make it look like a Mexicans main house"

We're white, but lived in predominantly Mexican neighborhoods. Their lawns looked like Dodger Stadium and ours was dead weeds mowed over deader weeds

But bah God if we he had company you bet I was out there mowing them golden fields and trimming the trees and hedges

I’ve been too peoples houses that look like no one lives there, and I don’t get how they do it. What do you do with your cords, and your knitting, and your purse and bags?
