Multiple sources reported on Monday that the lovely early spring sunshine dancing through their windowpanes was illuminating all the crumbs, cobwebs, dust, and cat hair on their floors.

“At first I was delighted by the melting icicles and how the world seemed about to be reborn,” said local Molly Broom, “but then I saw a Girl Scout Thin Mint that had slid under the refrigerator. I thought I finished off that box like four months ago.”

Resident Jim Hoover reported being horrified at the state of his floors this morning. “This whole time I thought I was being rather fastidious. Then the angle of light changed and I found a dust bunny under the dishwasher the size of an actual bunny.”

A nine-year-old source, who wished to remain anonymous, sobbed to reporters that she had been tasked with sweeping the kitchen before being allowed out to play, but no matter how hard she cleaned, everything still looked dirty.
