What a Change

Joe's parents were visiting him, and he wanted to surprise them. He made sure that his dog Bruno stayed out of the house while he cleaned the place up. He looked up some recipes on the internet and made a delicious meal for his parents. It took him four hours to get everything ready! And now, all he had to do was wipe off the stains from the kitchen counter, set the table and get dressed. He managed to finish everything right on time. When his parents arrived, they couldn’t quite take in that he had done all that by himself.
