[info] I cleaned out my oldest sons closet and wondered how he could possibly only have a few clothing items left to wear.  Literally, he had 3 short sleeve shirts, no jeans, 5 long sleeve tops and very low numbers on underclothes.  Then I went to my youngest sons room.  I found all the clothes.  My boys are the same size, so I wash the clothes and they have to put them away.  Joe takes them all.  He had so many clothes in his closet that he ran out of space and room to hang anything, so he had stacks on the closet floor.  He had a difficult time choosing to get rid of a lot of this clothing, most of which did not fit him anymore… that is, until I told him he was a clothes hoarder.  We watch the TV show Hoarders as a family.  His closet is now cleaned out with a reasonable amount of clothing.
