Dear Miss Manners,
I went with Mommy and Reagan to see how work is going on Great Grandmas kitchen. It was so beautiful, that I could not resist trying out all of the cabinets doors and drawers and even climbing in many. Is that so wrong? Mommy and Grandma and Grandpa seemed apprehensive, and even a little worried. Work has been going on for quite awhile there; I even asked Uncle Brent to "fix the messy house." He seems so skilled in everything, and often buzzes around like a honey worker bee getting things done, and has a way of motivating others to work. Well Grandma had put the mop and bucket full of soapy water out on her deck, and though the inside floors looked clean to me, I thought that I could be a big help with mopping the deck, and also mopping the nearby potted flowers. Not wanting to leave anything dirty, I mopped the nearby dog as well. The only trouble was that there ended up being more dirt on the dog than when I had started because of that pesky potting soil! What is a girl to do? Grandma and Mommy came running out the door and seemed so excited! I just knew they would love all of the hard work I had done in such a short time. The only problem is that they did not seem very happy for some reason, and Grandma even cleaned up the dog I had just finished shining up. Well I decided to get away from those party-poopers, and check out those lovely cabinets again. I guess everyone was tired, because no one wanted to play with me. Not wanting me to be bored again, Mommy and I went down in the basement and found some nice books, including the Berenstain Bear's, which just happens to be my very favorite. I sat for a long time just looking at that book, and had Mommy read it to me a few times, with just the minimal interruption of adjusting the wet dog's towel, making sure her face was covered totally with a towel to keep her warm, and moving around her fur giving her the best possible look. Any ideas for how I can be a better guest?
Sincerely,
Not Looking for Trouble
