Do you or does somebody in your house resist having people over because “the place is a mess”? Does this cause domestic strife and make your friends think you hate them?
No more. Introducing the Pledge Party®.
Here’s how it works:
From now on, when we visit somebody’s home, the first thing we should do is clean a small part of that home. Say four square feet.
Benefits:
*Eliminates pressure on hosts.
*Puts guests at ease and lets them feel like an integral part of the party.
*Great ice-breaker. (“Hey, I think I dropped this cufflink last time I was here.”)
*Quick. It will only take each visitor roughly two minutes to do the work. Then, let the fun begin!
This is such a good and sane idea that I think we should immediately make it part of our culture. Currently the custom calls for visitors to bring a bottle of wine or a six-pack of beer. Just add some Pledge or Lysol and a sponge and we’re good to go.
