Conspiracy theory

Around this neck of the woods we encourage stunningly high standards of cleanliness.

A few basic rules are immutable such as eat/drink at the table, as this limits the square footage of cleaning required thereafter. Even after all these years, fine and gross motor skills are approximate. Patience and cleaning skills are limited but reminders and prompts help to keep us all on track, or they do until external forces put a spanner in the works.

The spanner beams at me from the sofa, "I tink day are try to copy me!"
