Risky Business and a 9 year old

I was rushing to clean the house before picking the husband up at the airport. It is a 3-1/2 hour drive each way, so timing is vital. While cleaning, my youngest daughter, Sophie, asked to mop. I told her not to worry about it, we would do that tomorrow. I went on my way, to attend to more pressing tasks. 

I came back into the room about 15 minutes later. Sophie had stripped to her underwear and attached kitchen sponges with large rubber bands to her hands, elbows, knees and feet. I just watched without her without her knowing for a few minutes. It was so hard not to just give myself up by laughing. 

Sophie had wet the sponges and was using every dance move from ballet, jazz and tap to sh-sh-shuffling to mop the kitchen, dining room, living room and hallway floors with her make-do sponge-mops. You have to love a kid that looks at a job like mopping and comes up with a system too fun to pass up :) Thanks, Sophie!
As much as I wanted to document this moment in pictures, my cell phone makes too much noise...Damn, another missed photo opportunity.
