Question of the Month and Messy Room

It's time for Question of the Month hosted by Michael D'Agostino. Today's question is right in line with the A-Z challenge that's going on. (Sorry I'm not participating. There's just too much going on in my life and I don't have time to do it.) The question is, "What is your favorite thing that begins with the letter, C?"


Well, that's easy. Chocolate!


Now for the story:


My daughter is a typical teenager, and her room reflects this. I can't tell you how much stuff she has. That stuff usually ends up all over her floor. I finally decided I wasn't going to pick up after her any more. She's a big girl, so she can clean her own abode.


Two days ago, she came downstairs in the morning, looking like she had been through a war. "Mom, I'm sore," she announced.


I raised my eyebrows. "Rough night?"


"Yeah. I had to sleep on the floor. There was too much stuff on my bed."


I chuckled. "What are you going to do about it?"


She shrugged. "Clean my room?"


Good idea. So now, ladies and gentlemen, my daughter has a very clean room, and last night she was able to sleep in her bed. Let's see how long that lasts!
