Declaration of De-cluttering
I talked with other Chinese folks about how we Chinese are so messy around house and elsewhere. We can each come up with different reasons to explain away why our own place looks like being in the middle of moving in or moving out.
I’d give one example that tops it all about other people. I once walked in (almost dropped in) a Jewish friend’s house in the neighborhood. Like me, she has one husband. Unlike me, she has FOUR boys aged from 7 to 19. The house looked like… how do I describe it? … like you walked into a house that has been put up for viewing and therefore for sale.
She works full time and has no domestic help. It seems effortless on her part. If this is not work, I would say, it’s tradition, people. This makes the prelude to my declaration or the declaration itself against cluttering of the house. This summer is going to be clutter free. We Chinese need to think and make an effort to live in a house-for-sale mode.
