Messy bedroom- teenage calling card
August 25th 2007 01:44
Hello and welcome to this Orble Informant's first in a series of exclusive reports on teen living.
Teenagers- known for playing obscenely loud music, dressing like a blizzard hit them and calling it fashion and having messy bedrooms. In a few days time you'll know why the prior 2 happen, but today I'll enlighten you on the subject of the messy room.
Why?
Because it's easier.
Who can be stuffed putting things "away" and "in their place" when “on the floor” and “under the bed” serve the same purpose? It's also faster. Come home, dump your dirty uniform of the floor, get into your clubbing gear and go! Fast like coffee and music downloads. If the updated version of conversations is txting (that’s texting, for the grammatically correct) then quite obviously the updated way of keeping one's room spick and span is not doing it.
Also it ads character.
Did a grenade go off in this teen's sock draw? Well, I doubt you would have heard it if it did, but no, I don't think one did. I just think this teen is under the impression that mess is the equivalent of an identification stamp. "I live here" is what they're trying to say with the scent of their aforementioned uniform that's still lying on the floor.
Lovely, but you may be sitting there reading this and saying "Yes, but Wynona, but! Sometimes teenagers have clean rooms, how do you explain this, hmm?” Well I'm glad you asked. It seems pressure induces these clean states.
My Research Rodents indicated the need to clean has been known to be catalysed by boredom, parental nagging and knowing that company is coming. Allow me to quote the Alpha Research Rodent
I think that sums it up nicely.
So now the room is clean, the question on everyone's lips is surely how long will this last? The most promising of results indicated a matter of hours, but after all, if this is the scent marking of the 21st century animal you can't expect them to stop doing it- why another roving teen may spot what it dubs and empty space and decide to set up shop!
But seriously, sometimes some cleaning is in order. I, for instance have misplaced my wallet somewhere in the junkyard pictured above. Be a good reader and amuse yourself while I go search for it.
Look familiar? Well it shouldn't, it's mine.

My room on an average day is very messy and only gets cleaned in the presence of company

Keep searching for that wallet, hurry up, being a good reader can be very boring.
I like your style, kid, I like your style.
You know what my kids used to do to clean up, put it all out to be washed, thereby their clutter became my clutter, smart kids.

When I was a teenager I'd make a big pile and throw it all into the closet and wrestle the door shut.
Unfortunately my Mum, who had also once been a teenager herself, was on to that trick and busted me...so I had to clean the pile up and the closet.
(sigh)

I've found that if you place the pile in the part of the room that isn't seen from the doorway, you can get away with it for longer. It's keeping my Mother out that's the problem. Bringing me the clean laundry my ass
