Is it OK to be messy?

I say messy is genius, and genius is messy. If Alexander Fleming had cleaned up, he never would have discovered penicillin! And nothing beats finding month-old moldy sandwiches under the bed.

I don't think being messy is the greatest thing, because if you don't clean up at all you wouldn't be happy. Your house would stink, all of the mess would be an eyesore and even maybe a health hazard; plus nobody would want to visit you. The discovery of penicillin was by chance. So, good things can come by mess, but for the average person...Clean up!   

I think that messy is ok for messy foods, but if it does not need to be messy then just be clean. My mom's mottos are: Be clean and a place for everything and everything in its place.

Yeah! Because they are useful, but I think the moldy sandwich thing is disgusting.

sometimes, but you should keep your stuff tidy most of the time!

Yeah, I think we should be messy, but not just too messy.

YES it is, but my mom does not.

It can be fine.

It's GREAT!!!!!!

It can be fun, but it's best to keep your stuff tidy-ER!

 

 I don't like the mess because then I lose what toys I have to play with and I get bored... but when it's clean I can see all the cool stuff I have! Plus my friends pick on me when my room is gross....

 

I agree with Anonymous.
