Last day of the holidays...

[elisi]

My house, this morning. All three girls are on the sofas in front of the TV, playing on the Wii.

Me: OK, girls. Time to get up, have some breakfast and get dressed. And then you can tidy your bedrooms!

Miss M [deadpan]: You make it sound like a *present*!

Me: It is a present - you'll get tidy rooms!

Miss M: *unintelligible*

~~~

I can't wait for tomorrow...

(They have tidied btw. A bit. You can see the floor now.)

I probably would've said, "It is a present. it's my present!"

Oh, Miss M. <3

[elisi]

It's not the kind of present they like to give me... *g*

She's currently raking leaves in the garden, to earn some pocket money. This is surprisingly hard, she's discovered. >:)

School started back up on Monday here and there was much rejoicing throughout the land!

Chicklet has about the same attitude towards room cleaning.

Me: Let's clean! Won't that be great!
*we clean*
Me: Doesn't that look better?
Chicklet: No! I liked it messy!

I love them to pieces, but OMG the joy of an empty house is hard to explain...

Chicklet: No! I liked it messy!
LOL! Mine do agree that it's better when it's tidy, yet this is sadly not a motivating factor at all.
