MY TURN
YABBA YABBA BOOOOOHOOOO
Okay, so I came back after two weeks out of country and the house is SO FILTHY. Like mom went and cooked like some kind of soup and spilled it over the stove and the kitchen floor and the carpet in there AND THE CABINET DOORS ? LIKE LOLWUTHOWWHENWHY? And I'm like, DUDE WUT DID YU DO? And she's like, oh dear, you're so crazy, I didn't even cook.
And you cannot imagine how much I wanted to EXPLODE RIGHT THERE
So I thought for a moment, rather rationally, mind you, and I figured, I might as well clean the mess and clean the bathroom (equally messed up) and my room (dad and I share it so mom scavenged through it while we were gone as usual) and be a good child and just do it all.
BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS I CANT LIVE IN A DIRTY APARTMENT WITH A DIRTY KITCHEN ALL GREASY YELLOW AND GRIMY EVERYWHERE.
So I forced my dad to go to the store with me and buy all sorts of cleaning stuff, brooms, and detergents and blahblah. And I clean the STOVETOP FOR THREE HOURS. Can you believe it took three hours because it was all so burnt and blacked up that it wouldn't work even when I sprayed like a madwoman?
But still, I was like, at least it's clean. Then, I took a look around our small walk in kitchen and wanted to scream. I figured if I worked really fast I'd finish everything in one day, but this is like...intense torture or something. Like, did they not even wipe the counter ONCE? So now, I'm going to have be at it ALL WEEK and then I'm totally going to have spend that tiny bit of pocket money I got from my aunt as a present over the vacation and buy some kind of covers for the cabinet doors and the stove walls (BECAUSE MY INSANE MOTHER TOOK THE FOIL I TAPED ON OFF x3)
In any case, I'm alive and there's a lot of people out there who have worse living conditions than I do. At least I'm able to clean most of it, even if it takes time and IS FRUSTRATING. On the other hand, it's taking up a lot of my study/SAT time, but maybe this a good time to learn to balance major things like cleaning, cooking, dusting, studying, doing other chores and having fun :3
Wish me luck as I try my best to be the ONLY good, helpful, and RESPONSIBLE member of this ticking-time-bomb family. And, just for the credit, Dad's helping by buying me the stuff I need even though he's in a pinch for money. :3 Thanks Dad, without you I'd go insane..
WORK HARD PEOPLE ! IF YOU GIVE IN THE GRIME WILL NEVER COME OFF ;___;; AND YOULL BE LOOKING AT A FILTHY KITCHEN ALL YEAR
GO THE EXTRA MILE AND SCRUB SCRUB SCRUB
In the end you'll realize that a little extra effort will only make you feel better about your accomplishment. Don't give in while your feelings are still fresh :3 Sometimes, you just have to bite your tongue and be the mature one... x.X right?
