Noise: Sssssssss. Fold, fold, fold, fold. Elly: Elizabeth, I want you to put away these clothes now, so they don't end up on the floor. Elizabeth: Cheeze, Mom! You are such a neat freak! Elly: I am not a neat freak! Elizabeth: You are! For example: the kitchen is never cluttered, every drawer is organized. Every closet is clean. You line up pairs of shoes, you straighten floor mats, you put cans and bottles in the dishwasher before you recycle them. - You even fold the underwear!! This is obsessive-compulsive behavior! Elly: Really? ...I'm glad you pointed it out. From now on, I'll try not to inflict this disorder on my family. April: ...What's wrong with Mom?
