We put away all of our clothes and books!" "Yeah, aren't you impressed? Our room is so clean, you can even see the carpet!!" The mother just sighed and shook her head.

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. Sincerely, Jane White feather Which sentence best expresses the author's point of view in this letter?
