as if he were trying to ... you know... be nice! he scrubbed the sinks (which is his favorite job to do...) I think this all came about when we were trying to sell our house in AZ. I was almost overboard with making my sink shiny and clean and learned a great little method from "the fly lady" on how to do it. This included filling the sink to the top with water and then a hundred other steps (one of which included floss for the cracks). Nick was obviously impressed! And hey, why ruin a perfect opportunity for a "fun kids chore".
