Cleaning Up Is SO BORING
Jaimie on Mar 23rd 2009
This was my son’s newest refrain for the past week or so. Every time we reminded him to clean up after himself, be it toys, books, dirty clothes, or whatever, he would say in the whiniest voice possible “But cleaning up is so booooooring.” Not that that got him out of cleaning anything up, but he was a total pill to deal with.
Then yesterday it magically stopped. He cleaned things up, didn’t whine, and was generally a much more pleasant little guy to be around. After a while I dared to ask why, and he says “Miss Sally (his teacher at school) told me to stop saying that.”
Not that I didn’t tell him to stop saying it 500 other times or anything…
The magic of teachers.
