...you have no glasses, cups or plates left in the cupboards as they have magically found their way upstairs to teenager's room.

...you step in the front door and trip over 5 pairs of HUGE trainers (is Ronald McDonald visiting?!) as teenager has his mates visiting.

I could go on and on....love him dearly though!

You have to hold your breath as you go in his room, which stinks of the peculiar odour only teenage boys have. But why do they have to keep their window tightly closed and the door tightly closed, and the curtains shut, so its pitch dark AND smelly, all day.
