Where I apologise to my future son-in-law


This was a real interaction between Cenny my 9yo daughter and Zeke my 10yo son.

Cenny, in a firm and authoritative tone: Zeke, let the dog out.

Zeke: I don't have to. Why don't you let the dog out?

Cenny, in the same tone: Zeke, let the dog out.

Zeke: You are a butt. You let the dog out.

Cenny: Zeke, let the dog out.

Zeke, yelling: No. You stink. I don't have to.

Cenny: Zeke, let the dog out.

Zeke, walking to the door with the dog: You're lazy. You stink, etc., etc, etc.

Cenny sits down on the couch next to me and says: Zeke is so easy to get to do stuff. Just keep repeating yourself and ignore what he says.

To my future son-in-law - you never had a chance. Sorry

They all learn eventually to just give in and not argue! You need to send this to the two grandma´s they would love it!
