Today I had a bit of a spring cleaning bug. Not that spring is very close at all, but I have hated the filth on the tops of my kitchen cupboards for too long. Today I decided to do away with it. In all honesty, its been years since I've cleaned up there. I so wish that I had taken before and after pictures, because what I found up there was both disgusting and hilarious.
The dirt and greasy grime had combined up there to make a thick coating on the tops of the cupboards. Apparently, my children, who are constantly standing up on my cupboards to get things off high shelves, discovered this grime long before I did. What I found up there, besides the filth, was surprising. The kids have been using their fingers to write in the grime. Sometimes just their names, sometimes an exclamation, and sometimes they were using the dirt to write little notes to each other. Who knows how old some of these notes are.
Here are just a few of the scribblings I found on top of the cupboards:
"Hi Benj"
"Disgusting"
"Meet in basement"
"BYU Rocks"
….along with quite a few "signatures"
It took a lot of cleaner and scrubbing to get it all off, but I had a smile on my face while I did it, just thinking of my silly kids.
