If you came over to my house on any given day at any time, you would see toys all over the floor. I asked the boys to pick them up before they went to bed.
Colton went right in and picked up everything. After he was through he asked me "If I was going to give him a dollar?" I told him "NO" He asked me "Why" My response was "Just because you help pick up doesn't mean you get a dollar. I clean all day, do laundry, fix food and pick up toys... Do you think anyone ever pays me?" (My response was not in the friendliest voice) I walked back into the kitchen.
A few moments later,
Colton came up and handed me a five dollar bill and said "Here Mom, just cause I love you and be
cause you do a lot of stuff for me."
I said thank you and told him too go put his money back in his piggy bank. He insisted that I keep it and would not take it back. Sometimes when I am all stressed out and mad about a messy house my children never cease to amaze me. They are so sweet and thoughtful!
