You can't find socks Like boats can't find docks. You won't do chores 'Cause you think they're a bore. One day you'll grow up And you'll have no suo Because you were lazy On days that were hazy. One day you'll have dishes, But not any wishes. One day you'll have To milk your own calf. One day you will have A job to go to One day you will have Bills to pay, too.

My oldest can never find n e thing n his room because he refused to organize and clean it. He's a slob. I don't understand how he took after his father but father is OCD and he is a slob. I'm kinda both. OCD and slob. Organized chaos
