"Cleaning Time is Fun Time" started about 2 hours ago. I turned up the radio and told him we were going to get this place clean and have fun dancing at the same time. He frowned initially, but I explained that it wasn't a bad thing - it was a fun thing! He believed me because I was so excited...and actually started cleaning after I threatened him.
E walked into the living room an hour later:
E: "Why are you sitting? On Facebook?!"
Me: "Just taking a quick break to check something. About to get started again."
E: "You didn't tell me it was break time."
Me: "You're doing so great in there! I'm so proud of you!"
E: "How long is break time?"
Me: "Done now. Getting back to work."
E: "If you're done in here, can you please help me with my room?"
Me: "I'm not done. See? Still a mess in here."
E: "I know. That's my point."
Since 3/4 of the things he said are things that I've previously said to him, I'm going to list this chat in the W column since he apparently listens to me. Sometime.
Sell him on the black market, white kids bring a premium.
