Things You Won’t Hear When They’re 13

We just started having the boys bring the big garbage cans in after garbage day. They are twice their size, but they LOVE doing it. Today as I drove into the driveway and saw the empty garbage cans ready to be brought in I asked Mr. Pres if he wanted to bring them in. He said, and I quote (and will quote again when he’s 13) “Oh PLEEEASE can I? Please oh please?”
Anyone know of a drug I can give them that makes this joyous desire to do chores stick? I’d bet even in this economy you could make a fortune on that kind of drug!

  1. Your title is very accurate – too bad, eh? =) PS – let me know if you find that \’drug\’ you\’re talking about, right now the \’drug\’ to complete chores is only motivation to have privileges, but I guess I forgot to think of including the part where they say \’sure mom\’ with a smile. Maybe I\’ll allow them more privileges if they start doing it that way . . . it seems like a good idea – I think I\’ll try it! LoL
