Today’s conversation:

Mom: “Mads, please change the sheets on your bed and put your clean clothes away before you start anything.”

Mads: “Ok, will you help me?

Mom: “No. I am still doing laundry downstairs.”

Mads: “But MMOOMM! It’s so TIRING!”

Mom: “Really?????!”

Thinking, thinking, thinking….she’s thinking…

Mads: “Well, I can’t make my bed anyway ’cause the other sheets are dirty and on my floor.”

Mom: “Not anymore. They are washed, dried and on your bed.”

Mads: “Oh…”

Times like these as a parent I have no idea whether to gawk at her, laugh in my head or do the happy dance because I WON this round!
