Real Life

Conversation in my home:

Eldest Dude: So, are you going to just keep giving us chores to do ALL DAY LONG?

Me: Yup. If it keeps you and your brothers too busy to fight...


Yeah. It's one of THOSE days.

Just think how clean your house will be! Well, not as clean as if YOU had done it, but still... ;-)

Hahaha - if they run out of chores to do at your house, feel free to send them over to mine! : )

Way too familiar. :)

One summer I made my twin sons spend one whole day apart - they had to eat at different times, even. It was eye-opening for them. They wanted to call it quits after a few hours, promising to NEVER fight again, but I stood firm...
