As a parent of a 13-year-old, I am continually astounded by how fast time flies. For the most part, I’ve avoided entering my son’s room for the last 13 years, primarily because it tends to be a chaotic space. I wouldn’t label myself as particularly organized, and house cleaning ranks low on my list of enjoyable activities. I often find myself leaving a laundry basket outside his door, hoping he will take the initiative. Yet, there are moments when the state of his room demands my attention, prompting a thorough investigation akin to a medical examination.
- What is that overwhelming aroma permeating the air?
- Can he truly not detect this odor?
- Has he established a Funyuns production facility in his room?
- Is this a possible medical issue if he’s oblivious to the smell?
- Do we possess any nose clips or protective goggles?
- Why does he have two cans of body spray?
- Is he under the impression that he can mask the smell rather than showering?
- Has Axe body spray introduced a Funyun fragrance?
- Just what is that substance on his bed linens?
- Why did I opt for navy blue bed sheets for a teenage boy?
- Is that white residue on the sheets?
- Could it possibly be acne cream?
- Or yogurt?
- Should I dare to investigate its scent?
- Have I completely lost my sense of reason?
- How relieved am I that it is yogurt, in fact?
- Goodness, how long has that green moldy yogurt container been lurking here?
- Should I venture under his bed for cleaning?
- What if I uncover a questionable magazine there?
- Doesn’t he just Google that kind of content?
- Have I reviewed the parental control app on his phone recently?
- How many reminders have I issued about wet towels on the floor?
- Why are there 12 partially filled plastic cups scattered about?
- Didn’t he once own a pet gecko in this space?
- Did I just step on something squishy?
- Where has that gecko disappeared to?
- What is that white powder on the floor?
- Is it illicit substances?
- Or perhaps athlete’s foot powder?
- Did his father purchase him that powder?
- When did my little boy become a teen with such issues?
- Oh, is that his cherished blanket I see?
- Does my adolescent still secretly cling to his childhood comfort?
- Should I take the risk and sniff the blanket?
- Will my ovaries explode from that decision?
- Will I remember to never sniff the blanket, towels, or sheets in this room again?
- Why is the shirt I recently bought for him dangling from the ceiling fan?
- When did this near-empty Gatorade bottle turn into a science experiment?
- Am I truly going to miss this chaos and odor when he’s no longer around?
Indeed, I will.
