A Typical Day in my House
Me: Good morning, everyone, time to get up!
Kids: Yes! Let’s jump on the bed!
Me: It’s almost time for school – please put your socks and shoes on.
Kids: But first, we will jump on the bed!
Me: It’s time to eat – please wash your hands and come to the table.
Kids: Quick! We must jump on the bed!
Me: It’s shower time – please get undressed, put your clothes in the laundry and get into the shower.
Kids: Of course, but after we’re undressed but before we get into the shower, we must jump on the bed!
Me: The shower is over. Here are your towels.
Kids: Whee! Jumping on the bed with wet towels is fun!
Me: It’s bed time. Go get in bed.
Kids: But I don’t want to go to bed!
…
And people wonder why I say I’m slowly going insane…
