This is the last of the Clutter Guilt Conversations for now. Watch them at your in-laws’ house and maybe you’ll avoid having to actually go through these situations in real life!
FYI, I’m taking the rest of Thanksgiving week off from posting on the blog. Watch for a Black Friday sale on my e-books, but let’s just spend this week enjoying our families!
Clutter Avoidance Conversation – The “You’re so funny!!” Method
Click here if you can’t see the video.
Script:
Them: Welcome, Welcome!!! I’m so glad you’re here sweetie pie!! (Goes in for a kiss on the cheek)
Me: (Wiping off cheek) Oh, it’s so good to see you too!!
Them: Before I forget, look what I found yesterday? Monopoly!!! Now, it’s missing about half the pieces and I think the dog must have chewed up one of the corners of the board, but I thought to myself, “Self, you know who would like this? NONY! That’s who!”
Me: Hahahaha!
Them: (confused) haha
Me: Ha! Ohhhhh. Let me get this crockpot plugged in! It is SO good to see you!
Them: ha?
(Later . . . )
Them: You know, I have such great memories of you and your cousins playing Monopoly every Christmas for hours and hours! We’d listen to y’all from the kitchen and giggle. Every single year, you’d get so mad and start crying and say you hated this game and you weren’t going to be their cousin anymore! Hahaha!!
Me: (good memories kind of laughing) Hahaha. Ahhh.
(Getting ready to leave)
Me: Thanks so much for hosting this year! I’m stuffed and we had so much fun!!
Them: Oh, don’t forget about the Monopoly game!
Me: hahaha!!! Oh you!!I hope we get to see you soon!!! It’s been so fun! (Turn and leave. Without the Monopoly.)

Ah family 🙂 these are so fabulous. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! I hope you have a wonderful clutter-free day!
Oh my, this video totally reminded me of my parents! When I moved out and got married, I left all my junk at their house. But because I’m a hoarder (I’m getting the help I need!) I couldn’t throw it out. They’re hoarders too, so I ended up begging them to dispose of it without my knowledge. Need to stop being a packrat, but I get so sentimental over stuff. I had all the cards from when I was in second grade that my class mates made for me when I had the chicken pox and I’m in my mid 30’s now!!!
Happy Thanksgiving! 🙂
“ha?”😂😂😂 LOVE these conversations!!!
