Turning a Blind Eye

Media Girl will never win the Good Housekeeping seal of approval. The incredible variety of things piled one atop the other gives the floor of her bedroom a geographic resemblance to the lunar surface. If Media Girl had been a teenager before the first lunar rover was built, NASA could have put the robot through all of it's paces right in her bedroom.

Motivated Mom and I have long been at odds about the condition of Media Girl's room.

Motivated Mom tosses and turns in her sleep dreaming about what lurks behind the bedroom door. While I turn a blind eye saying The door is always closed - if we don't have to see it, why should we care.

Well, now that Media Girl is sharing one of our cars, I'm learning the price of turning a blind eye.

Forget NASA. I need someone from the National Center for Disease Control to come inspect our Isuzu before I slip into the driver seat again. Just looking in through the window has me shivering at the thought of what kind of pestilence is breeding inside the car.

So to those of you with sloppy kids - unless you intend to never have to share a car with your teenager - start implementing the white glove test in their bedrooms today!
