"Alright Mikey, I think we learned a few things yesterday. If not much," Don said. "Of one thing we found out that if you push Raph, you get a black eye and that when you think you tine to use the right side of your brain."
"Does that mean I'm stupid" Mikey asked.
"No, it means that me lecturing is not the best way to tutor you" Don answered.
"Soooo, if you're not going to teach me, does that mean I can go watch TV. They're showing all four of the Alien movies today on the Sci-fi channel" Mikey said excitedly he hated studying science and if he could get out of it he wanted to. Not to mention that yesterday he got a black eye from studying. Okay, so pushing Raph give him a black eye, but still.
"You can tape the Alien movies. I'm still going to teach you, but I going to do it differently. You see Mikey you're a visual learner, so if I show you what we're working on it should help" Don stated, he knew his brother was not an idiot and he was not going to stop tell he know everything that was on that test.
"Follow me Mikey"
Don walked out of the lab with Mikey close on his heels, and went straight for Mikey's room.
The room looked like World War III was fought in it, with several bombs going off. Mikey's blankets and sheets where hanging off the bed. On top of the bed were about three or four comic books Mikey had read that morning. The floor of the room could not be seen under all the comic books, action figure, game controls and other junk that had made its way into the room. And it the far right hand corner was a desk, covered in even more comic books and a sandwich that could have been a month old.
Don made his way through the mess on the floor to the desk.
"Mikey I want you to clean off your desk, and throw that sandwich away," Don said covering up his nose.
"But Donnie what does cleaning my desk have to do with science," Mikey asked, he may not know much about science but he know clean wasn't part of it. Not to mention that he didn't like to clean in the first place.
"I can get Master Splinter in here and he'll have you clean the whole room and not just the desk"
Mikey gave his brother a dirty look, than started to clear his desk off. When he got to the sandwich, he got an idea. With a smile on his face that told you he was up to something he turned around and though the sandwich at Don.
Don knew Mikey well enough to know that he might throw the sandwich, duck before the sandwich left Mikey's hand.
When the desk was clean and the sandwich in the trash, Don turned to Mikey.
"Mikey was it harder to make the desk a mess or to clean it up" Don asked.
"To clean it up."
"Exactly, organization takes a lot more work than disorder. You didn't have to put any energy into make this room a mess, but you had to put energy into cleaning a small part of it. In nature things move to disorder, this is the second law of thermodynamics" Don stated.
"Okay, so the world is full of disorder. Can I go watch my movies now?" Mikey asked.
"No, and Mikey just so you know you are the perfect example of this law" Don said waving his hand around the messy room.
