Progress

When I got home, Blondie was sitting in the kitchen studying for her Economics exam. 

“Look daddy!” she said. “Do you believe it?” She pointed first to the bench on the other side of the kitchen table and then to the sink.

“What?” I asked, not sure what I was looking at.

“Brat Boy not only didn’t leave his smelly clothes on the bench, he put his plate in the sink, right next to the dishwasher. Not in the dishwasher mind you, but pretty close.”

“Shouldn’t you be back at school?” Brat Boy asked his sister.

“Progress not perfection,” I said to Blondie. “He’s making progress.”

Today I will remember the AA slogan: progress not perfection.
