HOW TO GET THE FIVE YEAR OLD TO DO CHORES
After finishing our dinner (chili, which we ate with spoons) we noticed that we each had a clean fork and a knife on our placemats. Who put these here we asked?
Not I (or words to that effect) said the eight year old.
I did! said the five year old proudly.
Well how nice of you, we praised her, as we put the untouched cutlery back in the silverware drawer.
You told me to set up the table she explained.
Uh, I told you to sit at the table. I corrected.
I guess she really needs that surgery.
