Duendes, behave!!

Any smart housewife knows that-aside from carrying hand cream in your bag-the housework should always be done in front of witnesses. You don't do it in your "spare" time, when no one else is home. You do it when everyone's around. Otherwise, it will seem like the elves came in and did the dishes, cooked, washed everything used for cooking and then some, and folded laundry and while they were at it, swept the floor.

And people always seem to forget to thank these elves for their hard work.
