Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm maybe fifty four years old, but in my head,

(00:02):
I'm always twelve years old. And that's why when I
saw this headline, it got my attention. The poop rule.
But it's not what you think this is going to
help you in life, right? Actually, yes, tell everybody about
the poop the poop rule. Christy Nay.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Well, this is going around social media and apparently it
did last year around the same time, So there's something
with this time of year that maybe we're doing some
organizing or clearing, getting ready to go back to school,
whatever it is. But people are saying they go by
the poop rule. They are decluttering. And a way to
decide whether you're going to keep it or get rid

(00:40):
of it is if this had poop on it, would
I wash it off or throw it away?

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Which sounds gross, but wow, what a great way to
judge something. I mean, if you said, oh, I want
to keep that and try to wash it, that means
you really love it. You love it, But a lot
of things you just you see a little something on
it and you're like, yeah, I'm done, I can I
can buy more.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Where's triumph them for you to.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Poop you bought? Have a good point off the air, Christen,
like our kids for example, right, if there's a little
something on it, sometimes it's not worth cleaning. Nope, not
at all. I toss it. And even when they were babies, right,
sometimes it goes beyond the diaper, never washed it. I
always should throw it out.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Everything is just gone. What about sentimental stuff though, because
that's like where I'm at. We were taking stuff out
of the storage unit because I want to not pay
for storage unit anymore. But that's really hard, like decluttering there.
So I know you said if anything, if poop touched anything,
it's gone. But what if it were sentimental something like handed.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Down, Yeah, that's that would be Yeah, I would. I
would keep it for sure. I'm talking like my cell phone,
like obviously yes. But you know some articles of clothing
that to me, it's like eh to me, if you
saw something in storage and like say it was a
I don't know at you that you really like if
you said, oh my gosh, if there was poop on that,
I would clean it until I was blue in the face. Right,

(02:07):
And that obviously means and says it stays or you
have that thought, ah trash, then you gotta let it go.
Let it go.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Ooh.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Thoughts on the poop roll exactly hit us up four four,
three six three. I mean it's interesting. It really puts
things in perspective. I think it does. You can judge
it if that was.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
On it, yeah, instead of does it spark joy? Would
you clear poop?
