A poor French Quarter woman has today been reminded that she’ll be responsible for getting rid of all her parents’ junk when they die, after her mum gleefully informed her that her cabinet full of mismatched chinaware and ornate vases will be ‘all hers’ one day.
Like many millennials, Layla Loosemore, 32, is the daughter of hoarders who have filled every nook and cranny of their spacious home with shit – or ‘knick knacks’ as her mum likes to call it.
From weird art, to doilies, creepy dolls and toys leftover from her childhood, Layla will have her work cut out for her the day her parents pass over the rainbow bridge.
“Fuck me, every time I visit my mum, I just think about how many Vinnies runs I’ll have to do”, admits Layla.
“Obviously everyone dreads their parents dying, but when your parents have reverse Marie Kondo’ed their house, it’s even worse.”
“She still has my baby teeth, for Christ’s sake.”
Layla says her mum was genuinely hurt when she informed her that her collection of ceramic frogs will be going straight to the tip.
“Like, sure mum, I’m sure all of that will fit in my tiny studio apartment.”
More to come.
