"When dinner is over, I will sort the laundry and you boys will need to fold yours and put it away," I said, speaking directly to my eight and eleven-year-old sons.
There was an enormous collective sigh. Justin's eyes rolled so far back into his head that I could no longer see their color. From my left came an excited gasp.
"I want to fold laundry and put it away too, with you guys!" Logan announced to his brothers. "'Cause I sat quietly at the movie theater!"
Logan could barely contain his excitement. Never could a more perfect reward, for sitting noiselessly through a movie and eating popcorn, have been conceived. No other child of three could dare to dream of being this lucky.
Good man, Logan. Good man. Later, if you want some real excitement, I can show you how to empty the cat box.
