However long he’d been on the floor was a mystery.
Not sure which hurt worse -his back, hands or knees- but he did know one concept was indelibly etched in his mind. He would never again leave even the most microbial scuff mark on any woman’s kitchen floor for as long as he lived.
Welcome to “Flash in the Pan”
December’s limit is 100 words. This half-pint flash weighs in at 53. The word for this week is mark. Today, I chose noun over verb. Which one will you choose?
If you are playing along for Flash in the Pan, or would like to join for the first time, visit the Flash in the Pan page to learn how to be a part of the second edition of FTP. Only two more flashes to go before the new year.
Happy Flashing!

Who made you scrub scuff marks off the floor? Grandma? Mom? Wife? Do you mop or scrub the floors?

/ December 16, 2012Scrubbing or mopping depends on my mood, typically it’s scrub. Then it’s wondering how grown people do not know how to stay off a wet floor.

Should I ever visit your place, I’ll be sure to remove my shoes before I walk up the front step. LOL

Binky
/ December 16, 2012At first I read it as if the guy was knocked out on the floor and had just arisen. That would make her a pretty obsessive housekeeper.

/ December 17, 2012That is one way to swing a mop 😉
RLB
/ December 17, 2012One of the little-known facts about me (ask my friends who visit) is that I love a clean house. I have 3 vacuum cleaners, 2 identical Bissel sweepers, and at least 3 mops with accompanying buckets. And the most neglected floors on the planet. I blame an unpaved driveway and a muddy yard for putting off that chore as long as I can stand to. Any wonder I stay frustrated?
Red
/ December 17, 2012You are a woman after my own heart. While vacuuming is on the OCD list, mopping… I would prefer to be beaten all day with a rubber hose.
RLB
/ December 17, 2012The only reason I do it at all is that I love the result. Even if it doesn’t last long.
Red
/ December 17, 2012The number two reason I have a housekeeper.
Novroz
/ December 18, 2012Poor man!
I guess that’s why my dad always scolded me when I forgot to wipe the floor after mopping it.

/ December 18, 2012LOL!
I always dry the floor. I always have the housekeeper dry the floor. *grins*Novroz
/ December 23, 2012Lucky you 😉
