My child is a hoarder. There, I said it. He calls himself a "collector." Plain & simple...he hoards.
On a recent afternoon, I noticed Ean walking around in nothing but a pair of shorts, but the shorts looked oddly large on him. As he walked by, I grabbed the waist band and noticed that they were a size 30...they were my husband's shorts. Here's the conversation...
Me: Ean! These are Jeremy's shorts.
Ean: They were in my drawer.
Me: They're Jeremy's...
Ean: They were in my drawer.
Me: Ean?!?! They're too big on you. They're Jeremy's shorts.
Ean: But they were in my drawer.
Me: It doesn't matter. They don't fit you; they're NOT yours.
Ean: But they were in my drawer!
To a 9 year old, I guess possession in 9/10 of the law.
Later that day, while packing his suitcase for a trip to his dad's house, I found one of Jeremy's 5K race shirts in Ean's dresser. When asked, again, Ean claims that it's his...because it's in his drawer!
Needless to say, as we're missing clothes, we know where to look!!!!
I love your article about Clothing & Laundry. It makes me think to buy some new clothes.
