or actually, that would be the mop.

My floors!

Cannot keep them clean.

Mud, mud, and more mud.

I think I will keep sweeping up what I can,

but, go on mop strike until Sunday night.

However, in saying all of that,

I would take tracked-in, muddy floors

ANY DAY

over spotless ones that had no little feet to muddy up.
