THE SIGN* arrived, with masking tape,
stuck upon the door.
TRASH BAG WARNING
it yelled
(with smiley face)
~I cannot see the floor!~
A sigh was heard
- by all the house -
the sign read ALOUD, once more.
CRASH
&
BANG,
soon followed it, as my Batgirl
>slammed< her door!
And maybe,
there was a curse or two;
Beneath her breath repeated.
But
life went on,
with nothing wrong &
the pile of stuff depleted!
Although,
it took the loudest hour,
'til Batgirl opened her door.
Trash bag tied with masking tape
& 'the amended sign' re-applied
"NB:
Holy tidy rooms,
Batgirls' done it!
DONE & DUSTED
Whilst the P.S. made us both smile...
(Obviously not literally dusted, Mum,
but even you, The Joker, can get the gist!)"
*For-given the prior scene of teenage devastation... Batgirls' reply had been superhero swift!
True Story...
QUESTION: What to do with One teenage daughter + too much stuff & too much revision
< No time to tidy! = :'( when we can't find anything?
SOLUTION: Give 24hrs warning of Mum donning full chemical suit & going in to tidy.
(Rule being that anything on the floor goes in the bag)
Remember to add some humour :D
Batgirl also added an illustration, of a duster over a vat of ACID with a cheeky explanation...
"Can our caped crusaders, defeat the devilish deeds of Mummy Linda, and escape in this episode:"
Um, no, sweet child of mine... Mummy has a duster and she knows how to use it... Mwahahahaha x
