Maybe there IS something to a messy room....

Time:  8:00 a.m., this morning

Place:  Ryan and Taylor's messy room

Participants:  Ryan and me---picking up Ryan's dirty clothes so they could be put in the washing machine. 

Me:   "Ryan, this room is such a mess--especially the floor."

Ryan:  "I like it that way. It's beautiful."

Me:  "Are you kidding me?"


Ryan:  "No. It's like always having a rainbow on the floor---beautiful!

What a great way to think about a messy room. Now, as I walk in to my kids messy rooms, I will say, "Please pick up this rainbow! They belong in the sky not on the floor!"

I used to ask my boys rhetorical questions like, "How can you live like this?" And they always answered me literally. "Mom, I just step over stuff. It doesn't bug me."
