Room "Cleaning" Day
Today was our room cleaning day. my siblings "younger than me one" and "younger than me two" somehow managed to avoid doing it all day. first, there was the waking up of morning, and the eating of cold cereal, and the watching of tv....well when our mom found out what was going on our friend the tv was shut down for the day. then there was the "getting ready" phase of the day. what that means for one and two is shutting the door to your room almost all the way and changing and playing with that hampster. well, younger than me one realized that when he had been gone for two weeks, the hampster's cage did not get cleaned. so, of course they had to clean it. (i'd been wondering why the whole basement stunk so bad for the last two weeks.) then came the phone call where they were invited to go swimming at noon. (at this point in the day it's about 11:30) so of course they ended up leaving without doing hardly anything on their rooms. meanwhile, i'm having a disasterous hair day. i was going to crimp my hair, just to see how well it worked, but it didn't work well at all, so i ended up straightening it. then i took sibling "Older than me two" to lunch at panda express, which was delicious by the way. and "younger than me three" was cleaning up her stuff in our room. i get home to her almost done, with the room part of it, and i hadn't done a whole lot of cleaning either. (now it's 1:00) so i start working and get mostly done in the room about the time that younger than me three finishes with the closet. at this point in the day, younger than me one and two come home. two is very sunburnt and uses that as an excuse for about thirty minutes. then they go to "clean" their room. they come into my room where i am going through all my clothes with mom. the first time, they were asking questions. the second time they were asking questions. the third time, younger than me two had his feet tied up by younger than me one. he was also sporting a stylish black cape. the next time they came in younger one was holding the rope and younger two was just following him. they were about to ask a question when mom gets a little frustrated and tells them to go back to their room cuz that wasn't getting it clean. at this time, all i have left is a couple odds and ends, and the dreaded closet. it's at this point that i suggest setting a gaurd outside their room would be a good idea, but we decided that we couldn't becuase nobody wants to do that. it is at this point that they are in their room with the door shut for half an hour. then we have dinner and do our kitchen jobs....i'll bet they end up watching the olympics with dad and other siblings. yes, i admit it, i'm using this as an excuse to not finish up right now, but i promise i'll get back to it, and clean it too. *minute passes* i just spoke with younger than me one. he claims that his room is clean. i doubt it...i'm gonna go check it out. so i'll have to finish my room while i'm down there. it's gonna be fun.
