63. Seal problem spots in your home.

If our kitchen tends to be a problem spot in our home we could ban food fights, or get a ‘seal’ of approval on our cooking from our family.

If our laundry room tends to be a problem spot in our home, we could mop up problem spots, or ‘seal’ those spots in liquid soap.

If our ‘pet sleeping area’ (dog house?) tends to be a problem spot in our home, don't use spot remover (pas de puppy). Maybe instead we can ‘seal’ that problem spot, a new pet baby seal named spot. (awww). Spot would no longer be a problem, but a seal/pet.
