Lucy reeely wants to wash the windows above the kicthen sink but it’s a little too high for comfort at the moment. Thus the following:
L: When can I wash the windows?
M: When you are eight.
L: Oh thank you Mummy!
M: That’s okay, I’m a kind Mummy and I want you to be happy.

When I was a kid I wanted to be a maid. My mother told me that if I practiced really hard maybe one day I would be. She got a lot of dusting out of me that way.

You know, I never thought of a mini-vac. Avi’s got her own little broom, which of course she uses to spread everything around. And she nearly died and went to heaven the day I stuck her at the kitchen sink with a handful of plastic dishes to wash. But a mini-vac, now that’s clever. I do believe that, tomorrow, I have a date with my local Target!

Yes, Maria Montessori was really onto something with the practical life stuff.
