Before you have a kid, you keep your house neat and tidy. After you have a kid, tidy is subject to interpretation. You don't clean up, you just tote your camera around because you never know what you'll come across.
Me: It's time to clean up! I don't want to see any toys left on this floor!
Them: Okay, Mom.
Well, I guess they showed me. :)
Seriously, you have to watch what you say.
Me: Lay out your clothes for school tomorrow.
Bo: Okay, Mom.
Me: Hang up these hangers, please.
Them: Okay, Mom.
Me: Have you put all the water guns up?
Them: Yes, Mom.
Me: Little Sister, where's your Bandaid?
LS: I taked it off in the tub.
Me: Go put up your toothbrush.
Them: Okay, Mom.
Everybody needs a kid. :)
