Lila doesn't have my cleaning gene

Cleaning is not my strong point. I'd like to think I'm good at a lot of other things, though. I could be good at nurturing, understanding, supportive, or even studying if or when I really have to, but cleaning is clearly something that is not in my gene to do well. People who know me would know about this and there's no need to discuss about this flaw of mine, please. The best cleaning job I'd be able to do would be to delegate (pay money) for someone to do it. I still do it because I have to (as I do not like unclean house obviously), but I detest doing it. I'd rather be... oh I don't know, doing anything else but. I could probably like it if cleaning is more of a social thing to do. Like you clean while you pour your heartbroken stories over cups of coffee. Like that would ever happen!

However, I've been doing cleaning so much lately (spring always brings in a LOT of dust!) that Lila has started to take interest in that. Now, she seems to take over her mother by her preference to water over other types of liquid. Obviously being a kid, her choices are limited to juice, squash. No wine, beer, tea, coffee or spirit yet, I'm afraid. She doesn't even like hot chocolate. Her mom doesn't like chocolate but hot chocolate she does. Now, everytime Lila spills something - thank goodness for her partiality to water - she won't ask my help but ask for a paper towel or something to wipe it. She'd swipe over it thoroughly, and then when she's satisfied she'll say 'There. All nice and clean!'.

Hopefully this means my non-cleaning gene skips a generation or two.
