“CAN UOU STOP INSISTING ON CLEANING ALL THE TIME?! ESPECIALLY MY THINGS!!”

"Shrimpo, it's important to me that things are all nice and clean, it looks nice when things are properly cleaned. If I didn't help with the cleaning this place would be far messier, and you wouldn't like that either, now would you?"

Hey guys! 😊 Our idiom of the day is ”Spick-and-span,” which means "completely clean.” ⠀ This idiom originally meant “very new.” The idiom seems to have started as “span new,” which was used at least as early as the 1300’s. At some point, the word "spick" was added to become “spick and span new.” The term spick meant a “nail” or “spike” and the term span meant “a wooden chip.” ⠀ According to the American Heritage Dictionary of Idioms, during the 1500’s, a sailing ship was considered “spick and span [new]” when every nail and chip was brand-new.

Uh.. Tisha... Cod you maybe clean my room?

One of my fish-tanks had a little mishap and water and glass is all over the floor... The Tetras are safe and sound in my head, by the way!

I ree-ly can't Tetra a break!.. Hehe..

"Oh dear, of course I'll help to clean it up, all that glass is a hazard! How exactly did it happen if I may ask?"

You uhh...told me I shed. I'm sorry I shed you shouldn't have to clean up after me so much!

- @ask-goob

Oh Goob, you don't need to apologise for something you can't control! Yes, you shed, but that's just a natural process for you! I can hardly fault you for how you were made.

Though I do suggest you get someone to help brush your fur when you're shedding, it should make sure your fur grows back properly, and gathers the hair in one place for me to clean. I'm sure your sister can help brush, and if she's not available I can fill in too, if you're ok with that!
