Daddy Steve: Patrick and Ravi are busy analyzing the 'marine' samples they collected during the Gregoropolis beach party. Alas, the results are not exactly what they were hoping for...
Patrick: Hmmm...it's all just common household dust.
Ravi: I suppose that's not surprising considering it wasn't a real beach.
Patrick: Yes, it was a very illogical plan.
Ravi: Well, our method may have been flawed but that doesn't mean we can't learn from it.
Patrick: True. Mistakes can be unexpected learning experiences.
They are the stepping stones to wisdom
Ravi: Research is the process of going up alleys to see if they are blind.
Patrick: If we always knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called 'research.'
Patrick: Well, now that that's all sorted out, let's have some tea.
Uli: Vat are you boys doing?
Ravi: We're studying household dust.
Uli: DUST?!? I must see!
Uli: Ach Himmel!
Uli: Ve must clean! Ve must vacuum, vipe, und scrub!
Uli, muttering: Dust, dust, dust, dust, dust...
Barbara: What put a bee in her bonnet?
Beatrix: Who knows? Just swish the duster and broom around to humor her.

Hi Linda -
Uli is one of those meticulous German housekeepers. No dust her home!
What great scientists Parick and Ravi will make, looking into the unknown and going down blind alleys just to check that they are blind alleys!
Poor Uli, the stress of seeing DUST! in her home! I'm sure she will have the place sparkling like a new pin and wear those girls out in the process!
But at least it will save Daddy Steve and Daddy John from doing the cleaning, they'll be able to put their feet up and read the papers and drink coffee.....
What I need right about now is to have Uli come to my house and kick me into gear! Can't help but notice none of the boys have been drafted for cleaning? What's up with that? Or are they scrubbing bathrooms, in which case, that's good!!
Hi Dee -
" they'll be able to put their feet up and read the papers and drink coffee....."
LOL, that sounds like one of those fairy tales that never happens in real life!
Hi Marti -
Uli has been trying to kick Daddy Steve into gear for a while now with absolutely no success. Daddy Steve thinks that dusting is an exercise in futility. Six months later, everything is just dusty again!
