Translation, Please

To a mom, the phrase “tidy up the family room” means things like: pick up your toys off the floor, put away the video-game controllers, and put books back in the bookcase.

To Little Brother, the same phrase means: get a big piece of clear package-sealing tape, stick it on the (finished-wood) toy box, and write on it, in silver Sharpie, “Basketball place.” Then put the basketball on the floor in front of this label.
