Madelyn had been home for a while when I noticed that her lunchbox was still sitting on the dining room table.
Me: Madelyn, you need to put your lunch containers in the sink.
Madelyn: Why?
Me: Because that's one of your jobs for when you get home from school. You want to be a big kid and being a big kid means more responsibilities.
Madelyn: But what if there are other fun things I want to do first when I get home?!?!
Nope, sorry, kiddo. It doesn't work that way.
