“Is there a shirt or shoes?” Jordan asked as he gave thought to what Tiffany had told him.
“You can have them when you’re done, and I don’t want you to get them all dirty,” Sara said while placing her hand down on the countertop. In one swift motion, she scoped up his school uniform and stuffed it into her pocket. Jordan walked across the countertop, stepping onto Sara’s hand. He could feel the heat from her body radiating up and into his own as she lifted her hand up.
“I got little cleaning equipment. It’s sooo cuuuuttee.” Sara said gleefully as she carried Jordan to the kitchen closet filled with a giant mop, bucket, broom, and various cleaning supplies. On the opposite wall was a miniature-mounted storage system that had a tiny mop, broom, and dust pan with a bucket hanging from it.
Sara grabbed all the tiny cleaning supplies before taking a small sponge from a shelf full of large sponges and dropping it into the bucket. Jordan was helpless to stop her at this point as Sara walked over to the sink and filled his pail with a drop of dish soap and a quick spritz of water.
“Now, you need to clean along the baseboard of the island. I will do the baseboard of the kitchen counters for my wittle man.” Sara said as she walked back over to the kitchen closet and grabbed a rag and a bottle of cleaning spray. Jordan watched Sara crouch down and spray the length of the kitchen baseboard.
Jordan watched in a bit of amazement as Sara scrubbed the baseboard from top to bottom, washing away the scuff marks and filth. She then took her rag and wiped it along the floor and crevice of the baseboard.
“Did you see how I scrubbed from top to bottom of the baseboard? Then I scrubbed the crevice where the baseboard meets the floor. Mom checks that crevice; if it’s not clean, you’re not done. Then just zip along the floor next to the baseboard, as the mop doesn’t get it very well. I did 3/4th’s the work for you. You just need to do the island.” Sara said as she carried Jordan over the island, set down all his cleaning supplies, and then set her hand down on the floor for Jordan to step off.
Jordan couldn’t believe not only how quickly she was able to clean the baseboards, and they looked spotless. She could clean this island in no time at all. Jordan thought about arguing his case one last time, but he also didn’t want to give Sara a chance to assign him some of her other chore ideas. By the time he decided to take the opportunity, he had turned around to see Sara already standing fully upright.
Seeing Sara standing at her full height, Jordan had second and third thoughts as Sara unconsciously drummed her toes against the floor. While Jordan grabbed the broom and started sweeping the dirt and crumbs from the crevices and floor near the baseboard. He had swept several feet before walking over to the bucket, grabbing the soapy sponge out from the bucket, walking over to the baseboard, and began scrubbing.
Sara peered down at Jordan for several moments before she was satisfied that he was doing a good enough job, so she joined Ellie in doing her homework.
