Throwback Thursday: Carter in April 2012, just a little older than Dawson is now.
On Monday there was no school and Carter was having the typical "I'm Bored, there's nothing to do" meltdown. I suggested games, crafts, basement play, legos but leaving the house or inviting friends over just wasn't in the cards. The house was a mess and I needed to get caught up on laundry. After about thirty minutes of whining I finally decided that he was going to clean the kid's bathroom. Here was our conversation:
Carter: I don't mind doing anything else, but I hate cleaning the toliet. I'm never going to clean a toliet.
Me: Well, one day you are going to go to college and I won't be there to clean up after you. So it's important for you to learn how to keep it clean.
Carter: Wait. When I go to college I'm not going to live here.
Me: Well, you can but many kids move away too.
Carter: So I'll be allowed to decide every day if I can buy or pack my lunch.
Me: yup
Carter: And I can buy whatever I want to pack in my lunch
Me: yup
Carter: YAY!!!!!!! celebration
I was just laughing so hard. His idea of freedom is packing junk food in his lunch and buying lunch from the cafeteria every day. What a silly goose!!
