Where is the box?

When I was young and an idiot one think I used to hear a lot, 'Darling, think outside the box', I thought, 'excuse me, what?' After hearing it so many times I was confused and took on a mystery, Let's find out where this box is, But it was quite tricky. I searched and searched and turned the house into a trash can, When my parents found out, as expected going outside the house was a ban. 'No buts', my mother said 'Cleaning this will take me hours', When I told her my mission, she laughed, And explanation turned my mood sour. Now as I sit here sharing this the memory still gives me headaches, But now I for sure can say that, I made a idiotic mistake.
