Hosting Thanksgiving dinner isn’t always the easiest task, but one Ohio mother is taking extra precautions to make sure the holiday chaos doesn’t reach her clean living room.
Nick Denbow, 17, posted a photo to Twitter over the weekend showing a sign posted in the entryway to his family’s living room saying the room “has been cleaned for the holidays and is officially closed until Thanksgiving.”
"Okay how my mom just gonna close down the living room for a month??" he wrote.
The note goes on to say:
“Special permission will be considered for you to sit on my clean furniture and / or walk on my clean carpet only after the following conditions have been met:
1) You have showered and are dirt and odor free from top to toe
Local
2) You are wearing freshly laundered clothing
*If permission is granted … NO food or drinks are permitted at this time!
Thank you!
You may choose one of my many titles:
~ Mom
~ Payer of the bills
~ Chauffeur
~ Queen of the castle
~ Person ruining your life
~ Bossy b---- in charge
Whatever works for you :)"
The tweet quickly went viral, garnering more than 14,000 retweets and 33,000 likes in a matter of days.
Denbow told Buzzfeed his mom had asked him and his siblings to stay out of the rooms she’d recently cleaned before but “never completely closed it for a month.”
As of Tuesday, no one had entered the room, though Denbow added he doesn’t think his mom actually expects the living room to be closed for a month, but rather wants the family to keep it clean.
