I grew up with it. My husband (who's from the the south) made the comment years ago (he's since learned the art of an "unexpressed thought") that our house was cleaner right before we left for some place than 'normal'. He's learned over the years (33) that he should, prior to a trip, leave a few minutes early to fill up the gas tank, get snacks etc. so that I can have my 'last minute fixin time'. I'd positively DIE if I died and my house was a mess and the church ladies showed up.
