I really know how to say the right thing to get what I want (or get out of doing what I don't want to do). I was really slow to get ready for school this morning and nearly made mom late for work. She'd have to ask me to do things repeatedly and I even got annoyed at her repeating herself. We had a chat about it and I think I'll do a better job listening tomorrow!
One of the things I didn't do this morning was clean up my toys like she asked. I promised her I'd do it when we got home tonight. Well, on the way home, we were talking about the need to clean up tonight and here's how the conversation went:
Mom: "We're going to go home, have dinner, and clean up before bed, right?"
Me: "Well, mom. I was thinking I'd clean up on the weekend. I'd rather spend time with you tonight."
Sigh. Mom didn't appreciate that too much. I think I'm still going to have to clean up tonight...but maybe I'll get some extra books or snuggle time at bedtime!
