Every Saturday, Pip promised to clean his room, and every Saturday he forgot something. One week Gran handed him a small card with four words on it: bed, floor, desk, door. Pip laughed, but he kept the card in his pocket. He made the bed, cleared the floor, stacked the desk, and hung his coat behind the door. For the first time, nothing was left over. "A list," Gran said, "is just remembering, written down."
