The Ties That Bind

Tonight Ben dropped a can of pop in our pantry about 5 minutes before our home teacher was to come. We tried to clean up the mess as fast as we could - mopping up and clearing out the pantry (including using the broom), but when he arrived he noticed the pile of soggy paper towels, pantry items, etc. I told him what happened and that we could finish cleaning it up later. After he left Todd sighed and said, "Now I can get the broom", and he walked over to the couch and pulled out the broom from underneath it. I said, "Why was the broom under the couch?" He said, "Well, our home teacher was walking in the door and I had to do something with it so he wouldn't see it!" That was such a relief- what with everything else, at least he didn't see our broom!
