Do as I say...

Background: I've been really busting my behind to keep the house clean, working on developing routines that will minimize the time spent cleaning and maximize the clean. But that is Baby Step #3...which I'll talk about at another time. Here is a little story from Daniel...

Daniel was upstairs bossing the peas around while they were sort of cleaning/sort of playing in the disaster of a playroom. You know, the usual speech about how you shouldn't be playing unless your other messes are already picked up. If you don't clean all of these piles up and put them away, I'm going to throw out whatever is left on the floor at bedtime...the usual. So, then J said, "Daddy your office is a big mess, and you were playing Metroid earlier." Burn. True on both counts. Guess who was cleaning his office before work this morning.
