I never used to understand the purpose of cleaning the house.  My parents would make me dust and vacuum occasionally, especially if someone was coming over.  My argument was that (1) we shouldn't jump through hoops to show people we're not dirty, and (2) people don't care anyway.  Now that I'm a "grownup", I see the point.  I'll jump through hoops to make people think I'm cleaner than I actually am, and yes, people do care.  They might say they don't, but they do.  I know this because I care when I'm at someone else's house.  I notice when people are dirty, and I generally don't like dirty people.  It's not because they're dirty, but because they didn't feel the need to take the time to clean up before I came over. #lifestyle
