Me: Have you guys decided where you’re going to build yet?
Mom: We’re thinking about the land down South. It’s warmer down there and a closer drive for me.
Me: Don’t you have to have a septic tank out there?
Mom: Yep, but it’s already on the property. It’s brand new.
Me: Have they changed something in septic tanks or can you still not use Clorox?
Mom: What?
Me: I don’t think you can use bleach or certain chemicals with a septic tank.
Mom: Oh my god, I hope not. I would die without Clorox!
There are times when I have no doubt in my mind that we are mother and daughter. Sure, we have the same blue eyes and same color hair but what really convinces me is our need to have things really, really clean.
