Cleaning Hearts

I was at physical therapy today, and there was another man there having his shoulder worked on. His therapist had him doing hand slides, where he has his hand on a cloth pad that he’s slowly moving up and down along the wall. Another patient, a little old woman, looked over at the man and had this exchange.

Old Woman: “You’re cleaning the walls, huh?”
Man: “Yeah, I guess so.”
AGB: “Of course. Didn’t you know that’s how we keep the place clean? We have the clients do the work for us!”
Me [laughing]: “Is that why you’re having me do foot slides over here…to clean the floor?”
AGB [laughing]: “Exactly! Now, get back to work!”
