Watch Kids Get Candid About Why They Love Making Messes

Ah, summertime. The sun’s out, the grill is fired up and your kiddos are hard at work making messes all around the house. Sure, you’d rather not have crayon smears on the wall and food on the floor, but seeing them smile makes it all worth it.

Most of us have just accepted mayhem as a part of youth, but, if you ask kids, they usually have pretty concrete reasons for doing what they do. (Whether those reasons are legitimate is another story.) We partnered with Clorox to peer inside the minds of kids to learn a little more about what messes mean to them.

Brace yourselves. Their responses are pretty darn cute.

As far as kids are concerned, it’s always mess-making season. The bathroom, the kitchen, the living room -- there’s no telling where chaos will strike. Clorox bleach helps parents stay stress-free in messy moments, so they can focus on what matters most. Let Clorox cover the mess, so you can make the memories.
