    Font - stevemm70 18 hr. ago Once when we sent our son off to Boy Scout camp, I wrapped a $20 bill around his toothbrush before he left, and didn't tell him about it. When he got back, I asked if he found the money I left for him. He said "what money?" Busted. 5.0k Reply Share

Do not make any comments that you will or won't leave another note again. Then when they have forgotten about it. Do it again without notice. Repeat once more in the future with no pattern involved and you will never have dirty bathrooms again. lol!
