CrazedMommy Housecleaning Tip #25
August 16, 2007
Me : Please go clean your room. Pick up all of the toys off the floor and put them away.
(children scurry off to do my bidding. I might have said the last sentence with voice raised)
Scamp: (a bit later) Okay mom, come look at my room.
Me: Um, guys? (as I look at the room, only slightly cleaner than I last saw it) The idea is to put the toys away, not just shove them into piles smooshed against the wall. Also? The closet? Lets fix that so we can actually close the doors, okay?
Scamp: (trying to put the toys into the closet to close the door) Mom, (uuuugggghhh) I can’t do it. They don’t fit in my closet.
Me: So I can come in there with a garbage bag and throw the toys away, right?
Scamp: Um….no. But I can’t put the toys away in the closet. There’s too many.
Me: Well, just shove them in better. That’ll help get those doors closed.

“shove them in better”
the only obvious solution.

Totally unrelated to the post at hand, but… tag. You’re it, girlfriend.
