We have all let our room get a little too messy. Write about something that you found during one of your room cleanings. It can be something gross, something you thought you would never find again or even something that you forgot you owned! Describe the item and how it became lost in your room. What has it been doing all of this time?

My son, Tyler wants to make a deal with me. To help him keep his room clean, he has asked me to give him one penny for the first day he keeps his room clean, two pennies for the second day he keeps his room clean, four pennies for the third day he keeps his room clean, eight pennies for the fourth day he keeps his room clean, and so on. If this pattern continues, how much will I need to give him on the 8th day?
