Lydia: Why do I have to clean up?
Mama: Because I don't want to live in a messy house
Lydia: But, I am a PIG!
Mama: Um, great you can be a messy pig in your home someday...but, I don't want messies in my home...so clean up
Lydia: "But, I am a KID! KIDS make messes..."
Mama: "SO?? Being a KID is the time when you learn how to clean and be a responsible adult....so clean-up"
(Picks up two items and takes them out of the room)
Lydia: Can we be done?
Mama: Um, is it clean?
Lydia: No...(whine) --This is the worst day of my life!! (stomps off to clean)
LOL, Lydi...
