Let me just say that our youngest offspring has started her summer vacation out on shakey ground with me. For starters, she informed me last Friday that we had a boring house. Thank you very much cherished child but no one asked you.
Then last night, she told me that *I* was lazy because I didn't go upstairs and get her trash for the weekly garbage collection 0_0. Oh my friends....it was uggggggggggggggglee here after that. I informed my FORMER cherished child that she was going to shadow me the entire next day and do everything I did. *For a moment I saw fear in her eyes but then she quickly squelched it and said " FINE ".
So today....I got her up bright and early. Cherub says " Why are you getting me up so early!! It's summer vacation "....Mommie Dearest replies " I'm up so you're gonna be too "
Her first job was to REMAKE her bed after the first attempt stunk. Then, she was escorted down to the laundry room to sort laundry ( this brought out a " ewwwwwwwwwwwwww " and I quickly reminded her that a good percentage of the dirty laundry in the basket belonged to her and had hugged her body and special bits and pieces. 0_0. )
Then it was back upstairs to clean out the dishwasher.....after I noticed a few upside down spoons and knives in the fork slots....I decided a firm reminder of what would happen if the jobs weren't done correctly was in order.
Cherub promptly gave me a Harumpf! and said "I'm a lazy person and when I grow up...I'm gonna be a boss "
Aye yie yie....Jag and I have our work cut out for us. We've given birth to a deadbeat Dad.

I see politics in her future.
