Chores, chores, chores! I love 'em, the kids hate 'em, in the proud tradition of kids everywhere. Here are the current Top 10 reasons they use to get out of doing their chores on any given day:
- I'm hungry
I have to do my homework It's sunny out. I NEED to ride my bike. I'm tired. No, not tired enough to take a nap, just too tired to do my chores. I don't feel good. No, not sick enough to go to bed, just not good enough to do my chores. I'm tired from doing my homework. Still eating my snack Can't find the broom, dust pan, vacuum cleaner, house etc. My nail polish is still wet. (gender specific) I am not your slave. a.k.a. general rebellion
Hurricane Flood Pandemic disease Blizzard Temp over 100 degrees (child's, not weather) Hacking, phlegm spewing cough Playing peacefully with the 4 year old Doing homework having a (quick) snack being so tired that the child is able to wear me down with the begging, weeping and pleading until, in a moment of sheer exasperation, I give in.
