It sure is funny how an 11 year old girl can find so many spots in her room to “hide” things. She loves to have a clean room but doesn’t like to actually do the work to make it like that. Instead, she finds “spots” to put the mess. Under the bed (an old favorite of many of us), in suitcases (these get used on a regular basis so are around and easily accessible), in boxes, in the closet…..even in the drawers of a dresser. This mess includes all sorts of things but mostly clothes (dirty, clean or somewhere in between). The key to a clean mess is to find the right spots to put things so that the room actually looks clean, and that way, mom won’t be upset by a messy room! Smart girl, eh?
