“Fight entropy!”
Feb 25th, 2008 by Jill
Fighting entropy might look like room cleaning to an outside observer, but to a tween-age boy, there’s a difference. “Fight entropy!” makes a half decent battle cry, and while you’re doing it you can imagine yourself combating a villain or undermining a dark force of chaos. You could almost be wearing a cape while you’re doing it. Room cleaning, on the other hand, sounds suspiciously like a chore.
I just make my girls pile everything in the middle of the room, and then we start putting things back where they belong. I can’t imagine if it’s this bad now, what it will look like in five years. But I’m thinking that making or buying ‘room cleaning capes’ might not be a half bad idea!
