Those of you who do not have an "older" child:

Oh, just wait until yours gets to be 8.

My daughter just walked in from school and I told her after she was done with her homework, she had to fold and put away her clean laundry. Her response?

"Yeah, well, my schedule is pretty open today so that's not a problem."

Me: "What? Your schedule?"

Her: "Yeah. Usually I go out and play with my friends after I do my homework, so my afternoon is pretty packed. But today they can't play soooo my schedule is open for laundry. Otherwise I'd have to fold it another day."

Indifferent

This coming from the kid who once told me she keeps her Nintendo DS next to the toilet so she can "save electricity and use that for light".

Yes-- my 7 yr old niece says similar things like this. It shocks the heck out of me as to where she learns this stuff from!

My three-year-old told me I'm ruining his life by not letting him have Twinkies before dinner. He doesn't even like Twinkies.

I said something along the lines of not being aware that she had such an active social calendar. She nodded and said she was really busy all the time. LOL.
