To Do List for the To Do List

Have you ever noticed that when you make a list of things to do each thing on your list has its own list. And then even some of those things on the to do list for the to do list could have their own to do list. (Try saying that five times fast.) Here's my latest to do list and you'll see what I mean.

# If I get Mother to buy cleaning supplies:
