Steve and I definitely have challenges when it comes to "keeping rooms clean" in our house. We are both a bit OCD about cleanliness and organization, while our kids "will be kids," you know? But WOAH, I can't imagine being to the point that Andrew Mizsak was when the Ohio man called 911 to report that his 28-year-old son's room was messy. Mizsak's son, Andrew, who lives at home and is a school board member in Bedford, a suburb of Cleveland, apparently threw a plate of food across the kitchen table when his dad told him to clean his room. When police arrived, the elder Mizsak decided not to press charges, so as not to "ruin his son's political career" (Andrew also works at a political consultant). Apparently, he now promises to keep his room clean.
Talk about choosing your battles.
