Spring has sprung, and so have your cupboard doors… must be from all that junk you’re holding onto that rightly belongs in the “JOY NOT SPARKED” pile. Looks like it’s time for spring cleaning!
How spring cleaning is even a thing is completely beyond me. Cleaning in general never seems to fucking end, so when did we decide that hey, on top of all that shit you seem to be doing, how about you do some other shit too?
Spring is known for rebirth and new beginnings. I guess that’s why people see it as a good time to sort their shit and start fresh with a blank slate. Nothing goes better with the sound of newborn chirping birds like the harried screams of a tired mother shout-hollering to her preteen to open a fucking window because it smells like a decrepit tennis shoe farted out a heap of compost. Mmm, so fresh and so clean, clean!
From the depths of your closets to the outskirts of your yard, ’tis the season to get your poop in a group like a proper organized functional human adult. But since you’re likely to take a few internet breaks, here’s a list of tweets that’ll help you get your cackle on while you’re tossing toys.
1. Productivity is essential

2. Unless all this drama ends up with a cleaner happy ending then IDGAF
Woke up to a note – "Mom, stop throwing out our toys. I will clean toy room. You're throwing out our memories."
Damn writer gene.
