Mr. and Mrs. Blandings who lived in New York City have been married for ten years, and they have a daughter named Muriel. She is so sweet a girl that they love her very much. It is so warm a family. However, there are some problems confusing them. Their house is too small to live in. The most inconvenient is that there is just a bathroom for them to use. They were forced to take turns using it or worse-using together. For example, when one took a shower, the other would clean up in front of the mirror.
“Ah- Knock the door please, daddy.”“Honey, the house is too crowded to live in. ”“How about building a new one with all details we want？”
Above all, they build a big new one which has more restrooms and bathrooms.

Hi Linda, I think I've given my comments on the "Blandings" (or is it "Blangings?") story. I wanted to mention that "restroom" is used for public bathrooms, not for ones in people's houses. In the movie, too, Muriel is actually the name of Mrs. Blandings, not the daughter. Note also that "Knocked" is not the right tense for the situation; you want present tense second person singular--the command form, not a past tense form.
