Purely Hypothetical Question

Let’s say it is your job to clean up the downstairs.

Let’s also say that you have two, two-year-old toddlers who feel it is their sworn duty to ensure that every imaginable space is occupied with a toy, crayon or old sippy cup.

It is also late at night and you have no energy to put anything away.

Would you then, without a second thought, shove as much toddler mess as you could under the couch and then go to bed?

Would you then be prepared to blame your kids if your spouse discovers the pile under the couch?

Yeah, me neither.

Honey, please don’t look under the couch.

    It’s so hard to express sarcasm in the written form…

  5. If we got a picture of all the stuff under the coffee table, surely we deserve a picture of all the stuff under the couch?

    I’m kidding, of course.

  6. Why not choose a new term for the couch? I use “Storage Ottoman.” I challenge anyone to tell me it isn’t a storage ottoman.
