Cleaning Is Horrible!

“Clean your room! Take a bath! Wash your hands!” shouted my mom. Actually this has become a routine on holidays so I didn’t care much. But today it was enough! I was more than irritated. I suppose this was the tenth time she was yelling at me when I was doing some important work. “Why do adults care so much about cleanliness after all?” I wondered aloud to myself.

My parent’s room, I agree, is absolutely spick and span at all times but me, oh yes! mine is horrible. But why does it matter so much to my mother? A child’s room is supposed to be dirty after all, isn’t it?

The next day I went to my friend’s house for a party and you should have seen her room. Oh it was worse than mine. Towels, books, magazines and other stuff was scattered all around and it was the same in her house too. Her mom shrieking at the top of her voice telling her to clean up!

But I soon learnt why it is important to have your room as neat as a new pin. My school was going for a picnic next day and I was very much eager as all others. But unfortunately my darned alarm went wrong just that day and I woke up late.

This wouldn’t have mattered much if my room would have been in a proper condition. I would have found the things needed pretty soon, but I was jumping around the whole room finding the games I had to take. One socks was here and the other one at the far end of my room. Surely, I missed my picnic bus that day and couldn’t visit that beautiful park my class was going to. I cried all day and this was a turning point in my life.

I understood the importance of cleanliness that precise moment and then took an oath to keep my room clean at all times. I won’t say that my room would be really neat if you were to visit it, but yes, I’m trying hard! Hope I succeed when I grow older. Wishing that all young guys out there would have learnt a lesson from this narration, I’m taking your leave.

So the next time your mom yells at you to clean your rooms don’t scorn at her behind her back but get to work immediately. What are you waiting for now? Go clean your rooms!
