The toilet next to my sons room needs a new pull chain. I told him I'm not fixing it unill he scrubs that room from top to bottom (It's disgusting in there). So far it's been three days with no progress.

This reminded me, Dragon, of a time when my daughter was in middle school. We were running around prepping to get to one of her sporting events. I asked her to pull a few needed items from the clothes dryer. She responded “I am not the maid”. Well a maid had never graced our doorstep. I knew exactly of whom she was referring. Oh my how life instantly changed for her
