oh and think of the bright side... at least they're TRYING to clean up before you get home. REAL uselessness is when you come home to the mess and all three kids, the 14 year old, the 16 year old, and the dog, are all sitting on the couch watching tv. and you ask, why didn't you guys clean up??? and they just respond... uh... didn't know how. my mother never liked that response for some reason...
