I’ve got some important life lessons to share, and trust me, they’re all about being decent human beings. This means learning to share, showing kindness, working hard, and a whole lot more. But looking around this house, it seems I might have missed a crucial part of that lesson: please, oh please, put your things where they belong!
For those who might need a little refresher, let me break it down for you. All the stuff scattered across the house? Believe it or not, each item has its own special spot. (Surprise!) Let’s start with…
The Trash Can
I’m getting pretty tired of pulling out crumpled snack wrappers from the couch cushions. Our living room looks like a granola bar factory exploded! You know those juice boxes, bits of tape, and random junk you bring in from outside? They go in that rectangular plastic thing in the kitchen, known as “the trash” or “the garbage.”
The Dishwasher
I think you might be under the impression that dirty dishes magically return to the cabinet clean and shiny. Spoiler alert: that magic is called “Mom,” and she’s had enough! The time I spend gathering your crusty plates could be used for so many other fun things. Thankfully, we have this awesome machine in the kitchen that cleans dishes for you. Just open the door, slide the dirty dish in, and close it. If you can conquer those tricky video games, you can definitely remember this simple task!
The Hamper
I know my décor choices may not always appeal to you, but those bins in the laundry room and the ones in your bedrooms aren’t just for show. They’re where your dirty clothes belong! I don’t want to find them on the bathroom floor or strewn from your room to the shower. Remember, the hamper is their designated home.
The Closet
I understand that sometimes you need your shoes in a hurry when a friend comes knocking. But trust me, it’ll only take a few extra seconds to put them back where they belong! Think of the time you’ll save not having to search for them later.
The Toy Box
You know how the grocery store organizes items on shelves? That’s because things get chaotic if they’re all over the place—much like your room when toys aren’t returned to their rightful spot. Remember that box you have for all your toys? Yes, that’s your toy box!
The Toilet
And while we’re on the subject of proper receptacles, let’s not forget about where to take care of your bodily functions. There’s a special hole with water—please aim for it! And when it comes to boogers, let’s keep them off the walls and your fingers. That’s why we have tissues at the ready—they’re super handy!
By reminding you where everything goes, I hope to achieve a less cluttered home—or at least one that doesn’t make me weep over the lack of a housekeeper that isn’t me. You can help me out, right? Because remember, being a decent person starts with treating your mother well.
