So during my sabbatical from corporate America, I tried my hand at being a:
a) housewife
b) maid
c) pain in the ass
Anyone who says that there is no language barrier in the English language has never been to Australia…or England…or Pittsburgh. Anyhow, during our first week here in AU, I went to the local IGA grocery store to pick up some essentials – including what I assumed to be dishwasher detergent. I’ve always been a fan of the liquid kind because it doesn’t leave the crusty buildup like the powder kind. I went to the cleaning aisle, picked up the bottle and off I went. Obviously, this was the wrong kind.

Do not blame your lack of "maid skills" on a language barrier...own up to your short comings. Love you!
