@joannesshadow My stepmother was the same way. One of my chores after getting home from school was to sweep the back patio (that had a very old black walnut tree over it). After each sweeping I would have to stand inspection and of course it was never good enough and I would have to do it again. After a while I began to see a pattern so after one clean sweep I told her I was done and she came out for inspection and of course I failed and was intructed to do it again. This time instead was sweeping the patio I just did so moving around making little noises but NOT sweeping the patio. I called for a re-inspection and lo and behold I passed (without sweeping the patio a second time). I was 7 about that time and learned a big lesson then.
You haven’t been to Walmart lately have you…
