I'm addicted to watching Hoarders. Well, all reality tv really. The Bachelor? "Yes please!" Teen Mom? "Sure, but what is happening with these kids?!" Love it or List it, "How do I get on this show so they will do our basement?!"
But I also watch Hoarders. And then I go clean out something.
Aid watched it with me yesterday. We started talking about it:
Aid: Mom do you clean our house so it won't look like that?"
Me: Yep.
Aid: How come that lady has so much stuff?
Me: Well, some people have a hard time letting things go. They think they will look at it again later, or use it again later, or that they will be sad if it's gone. But they are just things which are not the most important thing in life.
Aid: My family is the most important thing in life.
Me: YES! (parental score here!)
Aid: Mom? How come Dad never gets rid of any of his books?
Me: Your father has a hard time getting rid of things too. Especially books.
Aid: We should help him learn how to do that.
Me: Yep.
From the mouth of our babe hon. I think Aid may have some tough questions for you come garage sale time!! ;)
Books are gifts from the Gods. Those stay....and music.
ReplyDeleteAiden is so sweet! I do have to fess un to my addiction to hoarders, too and Hoarders, Buried Alive. Fortunately I can only watch it on Netflix and I am caught up. I watch the show and feel like this could be me someday. I should give a peek at two of my closets, you'd agree!! I do LOVE Bachelor, too!!
ReplyDelete@ Annette- Nope I disagree about books. There are some gems that one must hold on to. But do we need every single book ever purchased? Nope. Not even a little bit.
