The Rosenbaums were selling their house and Mrs. Rosenbaum made it crystal clear to all of her kids that the house had to be spic and span on days when real estate agents would be showing the house to prospective buyers.
Mrs. Rosenberg’s 15 year old son Shmueli was of particular concern to her. “Shmueli, if your room isn’t clean and your bed isn’t made on showing days, so help me, I promise you I will never cook you another dinner for the rest of your life!”
Sure enough, on showing days, Shmueli’s bed was made perfectly. Somewhat surprised, Mrs. Rosenberg went into his room one night and discovered his secret.
Shmueli was fast asleep on the floor in his sleeping bag.
