The article discusses the "house rules" inherited from Grandma Gigi, outlined by an Australian real estate agency. These rules emphasize practical and responsible home management behaviors, such as closing doors, turning off appliances, and securing locks. The author relates personal anecdotes that illustrate her adherence to these principles, stemming from her upbringing in a strict rule-following environment. Each rule serves to remind readers of simple yet effective practices for managing a household and maintaining order, leading to a more organized life.
"If you open it, close it. This one isn't really an issue because I wouldn't return anything to a cabinet or closet open unless it's supposed to be."
"If you turn it on, turn it off. I'll take this a step further and say unplug it too - at least when it comes to the coffee maker and my curling iron."
"If you unlock it, lock it. No question here; if there's a lock on it, I'm using it. I am militant in keeping the front and back doors of my home locked."
"Grandma Gigi's nine house rules provide a humorous yet practical reminder of simplicity and responsibility in managing one's home and belongings."
