A Room Too Far

Hello! Yes, I got your number from my sister. She got it from the bulletin board at the “Stop, Shop and Save-a-lot” I’m calling about the ad for “cleaning lady needed” I have a couple of questions. How many bathrooms are in the home? I have a problem holding water. I don’t mean like, in a bucket! I mean holding my water. When I have to go, I need a bathroom close by. But, don’t worry, if I make wet, I’ll clean it up good, and you’d never know it. On my last job, there were three facilities and that worked out great, except for the time the grandbaby stuffed a tomato in the upstairs toilet and the water overflowed. It leaked all the way down to the first floor; I felt it dripping on my head. Boy, I cleaned that up fast, didn’t want them to blame it on me! What’s that you say? You didn’t post an ad to the board? Well, could you put me through the family who did? And hurry - I gotta go! Thank you Dedicated to my favorite cleaning lady, Evelyn!!!
