Never leave another woman’s kitchen cleaner than you found it. Especially if that someone is your mother – then she’ll definitely know you threw a party.

The first part is great, and – though gender-specific in a way that doesn’t make me entirely comfortable – totally rings true. Everyone I know wants to think that they keep a clean kitchen, and would be somewhat miffed if an interloper came in and showed them up on their home turf, as it were.
And the second part is totally sound advice for the teenage set. I believe it was one lone overlooked bottle cap under the dining room table that got me busted. My brother, however, went out with style – for an empty box of condoms in the laundry room.
