Hoarders and Children

This made me laugh!  And laugh and laugh.  My kids are masters at this art.  I quickly sobered up when I examined the bottom picture more closely.  If the mom just cleaned this room and put everything into a bin, she thought it was clean.  When this happens at our house, we say the bins and drawers are throwing up.  You can't keep things in perpetual neatness when there is this much stuff!

You can't clean clutter, Mom.  Organizing this much stuff is only thoughtful hoarding.  And supporting the container store.  Reduce, reduce, reduce, and then clean.  Only then will it stay clean.
