to take out the trash I didn't mean smash it further down into the can so more trash can fit on top. This makes the bag tear from the weight of the trash when I pull it out to do to what I originally asked you to do.
When I asked you to fold the towels and put them away I didn't mean shove as many of you can into the drawer so it no longer opens.
When I asked you to pick up your toys I didn't mean pick them up and move them over by a foot or two.
When I asked you to put your shoes on 10 minutes before we were leaving the house I didn't mean watch 10 more minutes of TV and then run around crying to find your shoes while I'm heading out the door.
When I asked you to clean up the paper crafts you pulled out that doesn't mean stack them in a pile and place it by the computer.
It seems I need a translator in my house.
The shoes are the worst!! My daughter can NEVER find them...even if she JUST took them off and they are sitting right next to her. So, it seems I need a translator AND a seeing-eye dog.
