Do you have Cleaning Power in your house? We do! It comes in the form of Betty Crocker's Rich and Creamy Chocolate Frosting. The house was a complete disaster, 99% of that mess being from my three lovely children. I needed chocolate, and I needed it bad! So as I raided the house for chocolate and came upon a half eaten tub of frosting, a thought began creaping into my oh so tired brain.
I gathered the children around me, and told them that I had some Magic Cleaning Power. I explained to them that I would give them each a spoonful and if it worked really well and helped them clean up quickly, I would give them some more when it "wore off" and they needed a boost to start a new job. The first spoonfuls went down the hatch and the kids scurried off to show me how well the Cleaning Power was working, because remember, if it doesn't work there's no need for me to give them any more. They raced back and forth time and time again with requests of "I need more Cleaning Power; what can I do next!?!?!"
Within about 15 minutes, and 5 or 6 shots of Cleaning Power, my house was clean. Ahhhhh....blessed, teeth-rotting, bribery.
