The Diary of Oye Franco

On a Saturday last week, the whole family was up early. It was

housecleaning day. Great! No, I would rather think about it as
family day.
After an early breakfast, we started the general cleaning. Ellen
and Mike scrubbed the floor, applied floor wax on it, dusted all the
furniture, and arranged the books on the shelves. Nina and Danny
decorated the sala and changed the curtains. Jean and Gail emptied
the garbage container. Tatay cleaned the canal and fixed the
broken fence. Nanay burned the dry leaves and twigs. She also
watered the plants. I washed the dirty clothes and tatay cooked a
savory supper for his tired and hungry family. Yes! Tatay does the
cooking on Saturdays. I love Saturdays.
