[QUOTE="donna723, post: 110922, member: 1883"] I think they have a different definition of "clean" than we do. When my son was a kid, "cleaning his room" meant that he pushed all the stuff on the floor over to the edges of the room so the middle was clear enough to walk through. He's 27 now and when he comes over, I still compare him to "Pigpen" in the Charlie Brown cartoons. He's personally neat enough in his clothing and grooming - it's just his "stuff"! He will come in and park his rear in my recliner, start unloading, and within an hour there's so much "stuff" on the end table next to the recliner that you can't see him anymore! There will be his cell phone and two or three chargers, several books, at least three soft drink bottles, several packs of cigarettes, a whole handful of lighters, nail clippers, tire gauges, all the junk out of his pockets, dozens of little slips of paper, etc, etc. And he takes the good stuff when he goes but most of the junk will still be there when he leaves. He just can't make that 20 ft. trip to the trash can and it doesn't bother him a bit! [/QUOTE]
