Daydream #286

For the boys to get their dirty clothes, towels, and bedding within three feet of the laundry hamper. I'm tired of being told that "I don't have any clean ___(insert clothing item here)___".
.
Well, if you would just fish said items out from under your bed once in awhile...
.
Other wishes:
.

--Please scoop out the litterbox without my having to remind you. Just walking into that bathoom should be reminder enough.

--Please bring your dirty dishes back to the kitchen before the uneaten food starts to mildew.

--Speaking of mildew, please don't leave wet pool towels on the carpet.

--Please don't throw a fit when I ask you to put your backpack in the closet.

--Please flush the toilet. Seriously...

--Please don't complain to me that your toilet looks gross (see above).

--Please don't let your hair go unwashed for weeks. If you run out of shampoo, let me know. I WILL buy more.

--Same goes for shoes. Don't suffer in silence while that hole in the sole grows to the size of a tea saucer. Let me know that you need a new pair, and we'll go shopping.

--If you have a nosebleed on your pillowcase, please tell me about it so I can treat the spot before it sets in and becomes a stain.

--Please don't throw empty soda cans, water bottles, and cereal boxes in the trash can when the recycling basket is only five feet away.

--Please don't use steak knives on the Sapphire Fiestaware. We have a stack of Periwinkle for that.

I really don't ask that much of you. Just the basics that make life in our home look and smell better.
