Thanks, Mom. Great pancakes.

Yes, thanks.

Remember to clean your rooms before …

That was a great idea to clean secretly last night.

Yeah, and working together made it go pretty fast.

I hope Mom went to check our rooms. She’ll flip.

Looks like it. She just came down the hall smiling.

Hi, Mom. What’s new?

That was a great surprise!

And we’re not done yet.

Vacuuming would’ve been too noisy last night!
