For Kids: The Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Your Room

Step One: Mom says "go clean your room", ignore that until it turns into "GO CLEAN YOUR ROOM", or she invokes the middle name usage, whichever comes first.


Step Two: Gather all siblings who share the room with you, and jump on the bed.

Step Three: Go tell mom it's done.

Step Four: Mom says you're not coming out until it's really done.

Step Five: Get angry at the sibling who shares your room. It's all their stuff, and if you had the room to yourself, it would never be messy.

Step Six: Throw the things that belong to aforementioned sibling at their head.

Step Seven: Go tell Mom your sibling's head is bleeding.

Step Eight: Convince sibling that they can't clean the room since their head hurts. And that they need you to take care of them.

Step Nine: Pick up two things off the floor and put them somewhere else.

Step Ten: Find a toy you haven't seen in awhile and play with that for four hours.

Step Eleven: Go tell Mom you're hungry. Cry when she says you can't eat until your room is clean. If this doesn't work, get angry at the roommate again.

Step Twelve: Put everything in the room under the bed or in your closet.

Step Thirteen: Go tell Mom you're done.

Step Fourteen: Scream in agony as she pulls everything back out from under the bed and in the closet.

Step Fifteen: Finally clean the room.

Step Sixteen: Go tell Mom you're done.

Step Seventeen: Tell Mom you have no idea how all those torn up bits of paper get all over your room every day.

Step Eighteen: Fall asleep in your laundry hamper.

Step Nineteen: Put on your Cinderella dress since mom made you clean stuff.

Step Twenty: Stay up until three in the morning because of your laundry hamper nap.
