“What do you think it means to be organized?” I asked my class after reading a sentence with the word.
A child excitedly raised his hand so I called and him. He shouts, “Someone who collects organs!!”
“What?”
“You know, like livers and hearts and stuff.”
“No.” I start to use children in the class as an example. I point out how nice their things look and say they are organized.
“I’m not organized! That’s gross!!”
“I don’t want to be organized!”
You win some. You lose some. I definitely lost. 1 more day till Spring Break.

Oh my gosh…I so think you won! I will not be able to think of the word organized the same way again. Good luck with your last day before break!
