She waited until the last minute to do laundry yesterday. So when I woke her up this morning, I said to her, “put on some dirty clothes, go to the dryer, get some clean clothes, then go take a shower.” The dryer is in the kitchen pantry and I was making tea, which is why she had to put on dirty clothes.

So first, she just went to the shower and I repeated it again when I heard the shower door open. Then she got her dirty clothes on and came out with her iPad because I guess she thought she was going to have breakfast.

I told her to put down the iPad and get the clean clothes and I said “go take those and get a shower.”

AND SHE STARTED TAKING HER CLOTHES OFF IN FRONT OF ME!

I very quickly said, “no, take the clean clothes to your room, go take a shower, then put the clean clothes on.” She’s taking a shower now, so I hope she figured it out.

She was sort of staggery and grumbly the whole time too. Very little intelligible speech.

If she hasn’t and you hear I was killed and my brain was eaten, that’s why.

    TIL I’m a zombie teenager. Told myself “shower and then let’s wash the towels”. Great, threw every towel in a 20m radius into the washing machine. Then took a shower. Then I try to grab the towels that aren’t there anymore. I think my brain lagged for the next 10 mins thinking “what do I do”. I then thought of “there are towels in the wardrobe!”, went there, almost killed myself going back when I slipped on the wetspot from before. One of those days I guess

    Hey, you gotta be specific with kids, and teenagers need extra precision. You’re lucky they didn’t put on clean clothes and then get a shower since that’s the original order it came in.

      The good news is that I still have just as much brain as I did before I woke her up. Which… well you be the judge there.
