Some stuff about a TV show and a house

The boys like to watch a T.V. show called, "How Clean is Your House?" Two British ladies go to various very dirty homes and clean them, along with a "cleaning crew" because two people could not clean these alone. These aren't "I-haven't-done-last-night's-dinner-dishes-yet-or-picked-up-the-toys" dirty. These are "unlivable-haven't-been-cleaned-in-years-why-aren't-these-people-very-sick-or-dying" dirty. Cobwebs and evidence of pests are everywhere. Strange things are growing in the fridge. It's really quite gross; like watching a horror movie. You want to turn your eyes away, but you just can't. My 3 year old, perpetually hungry son Emanuel- the one who begs food off complete strangers because he is always starving (humility is a virtue my kids have done a great job of forcing into me)- anyway, always-hungry-Emanuel was eating a snack while watching this show, and he couldn't finish it. He was so grossed out, he set his peanut butter toast down and refused to eat again until dinner time, which was 4 whole hours away. That's a record.
Well, we've been house hunting off and on for the last few months. After several "off" weeks, the last few days have been "on" days. The most recent house that we looked at was a good house, but had been unlived in for a very long time and was DIRTY. I have a feeling it wasn't all that clean even when it was lived in. There were cobwebs, mouse poop, old food splattered around the kitchen ceiling- it was yucky! Ben and Emanuel were walking all around the house, taking it all in, occasionally making comments like, "Wow, this room is dirty too!"
Finally Ben came up to me and said, "Mom, this house is dirty like on that show." No, it really wasn't that dirty, but he wasn't too far off. "I think," he continued, "that we need to call in a cleaning crew to take care of this mess!"
Meanwhile, Emanuel, who has lately been fascinated by the word "poop" and tries to say it as many times a day as he can was dancing around the house chanting, "Mouse poop! MOUSE POOP! I see mouse poop!" to his little heart's content. I do hope he gets over this stage soon.
