Grandma's Visit

Grandma's Visit

Grandma drops a bombshell: she’s at the train station unannounced and wants to spend a few days visiting. Meanwhile, the house is a disaster area. Twins Red and Fred have one hour to get their room, and the rest of the house, cleaned up before Ma gets back from the train station with Grandma. Luckily, Fred has sent for a Kingsley Industries Home Cleaning System with a Work Exponentializer. Will it do the job?
