We need a "chaos plant"

Accidentally forgot to water my plant before I left for the beach. So it was a very sad, droopy plant that I came home to. I immediately watered it, but the poor thing did not improve for days. Finally a couple hearty leaves began to stand themselves back upright against all odds. Since it wasn't completely dead, I felt it necessary to clean out and cut back all the dead leaves in order to improve its chances of survival.
Tina came in to observe and help. She asked me what kind of plant it was. I told her it was a peace lily. She shook her head sadly,

"Well, that's why it's dying. There isn't enough peace in this house for it."

Amen.
