I'm sure once I have my own place I will clean madly too.

And yes, I always tried convincing my mom: "It's already cleaner than Grandma's, you can stop now!," "We've been to their house, this is already much nicer!," and my favorite: "They're no taller than we are, they're not going to see the dust on top of the fan blades or cabinets!"

Enjoy your visit with your mom!
