Why Do I Have to Clean My Room
WHY do I have to clean my room?
because I said so and I'm your mother.
Danny's mom cleans his room.
You are not Danny and I'm not his mother.
Everyone in THIS house keeps his OWN space neat and straight.
It's your responsibility
It's neat enough for me.
You are NO judge of what's neat.
It's a health hazard; it smells like a zoo.
What smells?
To start with, take a sniff at your dirty clothes on the floor.
What if I just pick up my clothes?
That's a great first step towards cleaning,
bring them to the laundry room.
Then you can go back and finish the room
What if I clean my room tonight?
No, your brother has to sleep in there tonight
Who came up with that idea?
Grandma's coming to visit.
She's sleeping in his room. He keeps HIS room clean.
Then he can help me clean?
No way, get on it!
Then you can help HIM cut the grass before supper.
What's with the grass?
Keep asking questions
I'll keep finding more things for you to do
