My 6 year old hates to clean as I'm sure all 6 year olds do. He always comes up with an excuse why he can't here's the top 3 reasons:
I'm too old...my bones hurt- Mom....I'm just so tired
- My back...My back I think it's broken
He's generally rubbing his back or holding his head in his hands for sympathy as he says these things. Yes, he's quite the character! We just love to laugh at him....he's always got something new and funny to say although it can be frustrating when we're trying to get him to do something (he thinks we're real slave drivers). So here's the latest in a string of excuses.....
The scene: 7:00 a.m. Sunday Morning......
Him: "Mom, let's play cowboys and Indians"
Me: "OK but first we need to play clean the bathroom"
Him: "Let's play the shut-up game instead"
A.J. & I laughed so hard it hurt. He really did come up with it that quick and I was so stunned that I almost missed it. I taught my oldest the "quiet game" when he was young.....apparently the name has changed but the meaning is still the same.....You've got to admire this kid's wits.
