00:01Whether you like it or not, making your mom angry is unavoidable.
00:07Woah, that's a lot of milk, Jennifer.
00:11So next time your mom sends you a death glare,
00:14throw one of these DIY home hacks into the mix!
00:19Hi, Mom!
00:21Hi there, sweetheart.
00:24What swamp did you walk through to get here?
00:27Oh, I just cleaned the floors!
00:30There's only one way to clean this mess!
00:32Well, if Mom had it her way, that is.
00:36Yikes, that'd be bad.
00:38What do I do?
00:42This ought to do the trick.
00:45Take an inflated balloon.
00:48And put your dirty shoe on top as it deflates.
00:52Once all the air's out, you'll have fresh shoe protectors.
00:56Because mud freeze always the way to be.
01:00Right, Mom?
01:01Oh, I just may cry.
01:06I finally get to try out this new video game!
01:09Huh?
01:10Defrost meat by 3 PM?
01:12That's like three hours from now.
01:15And now, it's time to kill some zombie butt!
01:18What?
01:18But why is it that with gaming, time flies by without you noticing?
01:23Why can't I get my score up?
01:25Ugh!
01:26Oh no!
01:28It's three already?!
01:29But the meat…
01:31Mom's gonna kill me!
01:36Any chance he's not frozen in here?
01:39Oh man, I've gotta speed up this process!
01:42Come on, come on!
01:43Defrost already!
01:45Is it getting warm?
01:47So slippery!
01:48Oh, I'll just use my natural body heat.
01:51Ah!
01:52That's like solid ice!
01:54Oh!
01:56These things blow hot air, right?
01:58Ugh!
01:59Oh man, this isn't working at all!
02:01Perhaps the answer's sitting right in front of me.
02:05Mmm!
02:07Take an upside-down pot, and put your frozen meat right on top.
02:11Then put a second pot on top, right side up.
02:15Then fill it with hot water.
02:17After a few short minutes, you'll notice things start to thaw.
02:21See?
02:22And it won't make a mess, since it's in a bag!
02:27After a couple of minutes, take the pot off.
02:30And the meat should be ready to cook!
02:34Ta-da!
02:35Oh, hey mom!
02:37Yep!
02:38I remembered the meat.
02:40Mmm!
02:42That was a close one.
02:45Phew!
02:49Ooh, what's that?
02:52A party!
02:53I wanna go!
02:55Oh, but I've gotta change.
02:57Any party clothes hiding in here?
02:59What about this?
03:00Uh…
03:02You're sure making a big pile there, Kate.
03:05I finally found something!
03:07I'm gonna look so cute at the party!
03:11Yep, definitely the right choice.
03:15Hold it…
03:17Any plans on cleaning up that mess?
03:21Can't I do it when I get home?
03:23Uh-uh!
03:25Aw, man!
03:27I'm gonna be late for the party!
03:29It's gonna take forever to clean all this up!
03:33Huh?
03:33Huh?
03:35I know!
03:37Hang a pillowcase on the back of a chair.
03:39And pull it down like this.
03:42Once it's secure, drop your clothes in.
03:45And after a minute, your mess will be history!
03:49Just in time for Mom to see!
03:53Hmm…
03:54Who knows?
03:55She may even lend you her fancy jewelry!
03:59Being tidy sure has its rewards!
04:03Thank you!
04:05Bye, Mom!
04:08Is there anything better in this world than a spoonful of Nutella?
04:13Oh man, that's delicious!
04:16Mmm-mmm!
04:18I've had my fill!
04:19And off to the sink you go!
04:22Ooh…
04:23No mom likes to wash their kids' dishes!
04:27I was gonna clean it later anyway…
04:30Hey!
04:31Those aren't even mine!
04:33Why are these dishes all being dumped on me?
04:36So unfair!
04:38Wait a minute…
04:41Maybe there's a way around all this scrubbing…
04:44For this hack, peel off the rough side of a sponge,
04:48and cut the rough side like this.
04:52In the end, you should have five sections.
04:55With a rubber glove and a hot glue gun,
04:57create lines of glue down each finger and palm.
05:02Stick the yellow sponge piece on the palm,
05:05and the rough pieces on each finger.
05:07Now a sink full of dishes isn't so intimidating,
05:11thanks to your trusty sponge hands!
05:14This little hack saves serious scrubbing time.
05:17See?
05:18And you'll be a cleaning hero in your mother's eyes!
05:24Ugh, all this studying's a bore…
05:28Time for a much-needed gaming break!
05:32Give me that!
05:34Study!
05:38But mom can't take away my laptop.
05:41I need it to study.
05:43Mom!
05:47Hmm…
05:50Hmm…
05:51Hehehe.
05:53Hey…
05:55But no matter how sly you are,
05:57moms always catch you in the act.
06:00Hmm…
06:01All I have left is my smartphone.
06:04How am I supposed to hide it?
06:07Hmm…
06:07Maybe I can fashion something out of my pencils.
06:12Put your phone face down.
06:14And with the glue gun,
06:16make a zig-zag pattern of glue on the case.
06:22Then place a colored pencil on the glue.
06:25And add all your favorite colors!
06:29Brilliant!
06:31Quick! Mom's coming!
06:34Turn it upside down!
06:37Are you studying, young lady?
06:40Hmm? Hmm? Hmm…
06:42Keep up the good work.
06:43Little does mom know…
06:45I'm texting my bestie about that party tonight!
06:52What?!
06:53Oh yeah! Today's the big day!
06:56Oh, mommy!
06:58She's gonna love this duster I got her!
07:01But what can I wrap it with?
07:04Hmm…
07:05Oh…
07:05This box is far too small.
07:08The green one isn't the right size either.
07:10See?
07:12What about this?
07:15Ugh…
07:15Nope.
07:16Still too small.
07:18Ugh…
07:20What about that box of books over there?
07:22This one's got to be big enough!
07:24Without the books, of course.
07:27No way!
07:28Can't I make this thing fit?
07:31Whoa…
07:34See those dashes?
07:35They indicate where you'll be cutting!
07:39Almost done!
07:42Holding the blade away from you, cut along the lines.
07:49Now turn the box upside down and twist it to make this shape.
07:58Whoa!
07:58Then fill it with stuffing and put the gift inside.
08:02It totally fits!
08:04Mom's gonna be so excited!
08:07And don't forget some wrapping paper!
08:09Ooh…
08:13Happy birthday, mom!
08:16Now open it!
08:18Oh wow!
08:20Oh, it's just what I wanted!
08:28It's finally time for a little granola bar!
08:32But mom's know the sound of a wrapper means a big mess is on the way!
08:39Ooh… oopsies…
08:41Mom is not happy!
08:44Nice try there, mommy dearest!
08:46But I'm still gonna eat it!
08:50Flip a bath mat like this upside down.
08:53Now trace an outline of your slipper.
08:56Use a marker so you can really see it.
08:59Once you cut it out, cover it with hot glue.
09:03A zig-zag pattern is best.
09:07Then press it onto the bottom of your slipper.
09:11And don't forget the other shoe!
09:14This floor's about to get so clean!
09:18A little shuffle here, a little clean up there.
09:22Putting on some music really helps the process!
09:25Oh, missed a spot!
09:29And just like that, mom's floors are spick and span!
09:34Hmm…
09:35Aww, what a good daughter you are, Jennifer!
09:40Here are your slippers back!
09:43Aww…
09:50Wow, you sound great, Kate!
09:53All that practice is paying off!

10:01I've gotta have more up here!
10:04This stuff's all out of order!
10:06You should be more organized, Kate.
10:09Let me see these.
10:11Cool.
10:12Instead of keeping them upright, try putting your folders like this.
10:19Hah!
10:20Now they're easier to see.
10:22Here.
10:24Sometimes, moms do know best.
