No Pack-Rats Here
Growing up, my younger brothers were constantly accusing me of throwing away their stuff. I admit, I dislike clutter. It drives me crazy. So, I figured if some piece of paper had been sitting out on the counter for multiple days, it was unimportant. :) Yes, sometimes I throw things out that I wish I would have kept. Most of the time, however, it feels great to do some good de-cluttering.
Apparently, my daughter has picked up my "throwing away" behavior. I caught her putting a dish cloth in the trash the other day. I actually had to dig it out. Last night I opened the cupboard to get a dish towel and it was empty. I had just finished ALL the laundry - Marley must have thrown away all the dish towels!
Future messy brothers be ware - leave it out, and Marley may throw it out!!
Can we borrow Marley for a while over here? Well, we probably need to keep our dishcloths, but there's plenty more that ought to be thrown out.
ReplyDeleteamaya is doing the same thing right now. i think they just think that is where something goes if they are done using it. I have had to fish out shoes, remote controls, and books.
ReplyDeleteI have thrown away so many of those kinds of "left out little pieces of paper." I am lucky to still be married :)
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious. I'm the same way! Ray use to do that too these girls must take after their mothers! I caught her throwing away actual good items, ya know, like stuffed animals! To this day we still can't find Tyson's favorite stuffed cat! :)
ReplyDeletehilarious. gotta love that phase! maybe if you gave her her own trash can and told her to throw things away in it, you would know where everything was! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I hate that phase. I got a new phone because I thought I'd lost my blackberry but later I found it Halle's garbage along with all the barbies! She looks like such a cutie, of course!
ReplyDeleteHydes, I am always getting accused for throwing stuff of Dereks away. He calls me the thrower awayer! Well if ya wanted it put it away, were I can't see it.
