My kids staged a *protest* this morning.
My wife announced a new rule: On Saturdays, while she's making breakfast, the kids have to tidy their playroom to clean up all the remote school detritus and turn it back into a *playroom* for the weekend.
But, the boys didn't see the inherent logic of that. After various complaints about "unfairness," which we ignored of course, the 7yo retreated upstairs. We assumed he was following the new instructions, BUT HE WAS NOT.
Instead, he was making *signs* for him and his brother. After they were ready, they started MARCHING through the house CHANTING "No tidying on Saturdays, IT'S NOT FAIR" over and over, while holding up their signs.
Completely unprepared for this level of *resistance* my wife folded like a cheap table. (tidying will now happen, after school on Fridays).
Gotta say, I'm EXTREMELY proud. And glad I didn't have TV this morning. If they had PRESS, we wouldn't have gotten the Friday compromise.
Here’s on of their signs
