It looks like a disaster area

When I was growing up, actually as far back as I can remember my parents would come into my bedroom and say things like "it looks like a disaster area in here" or "it looks like a tornado went through here" or other clever sayings to help me realize how untidy my room was.  I heard the words replay through my head today as I looked around my home. Then it all made sense! I realize now that I must have subconsciously been trying to prepare myself for life with a husband and three sons!
