We did some serious rearranging today. Moved Son #4 into Son #3’s room, and Son #2 out of said room and into the room that was formerly 4’s.
The details are confusing, but the point is this: It was a lot of work.
About an hour into it, I asked Son #3 to please put a soda in the freezer for me. (I like ’em cold!)
His response?
“Why do I have to do all the work?”

Abby gave me that same comment tonight! After traveling 3-1/2 hours on Friday to Gram’s house so they could hang out, dealing with the small house, kids not in their beds, schedules all off, then coming back home today, stopping at Tommy Bartlett’s Exploratory for fun, dealing with the garbage, drinks, snacks and toys in the car, on the way inside, all while Dave is at a tradeshow, I asked her to bring in HER iDog and iPod and she said “I always have to do all the work!” WHAT? Oh goodie. I get a new iDog and iPod!!!
ROFL!! I’ve heard that one before. 🙂
I, too, am no stranger to this particular comment! I think it usually happens when I am unloading the car from one of their activities!
