Yesterday, Lizzie and I baked cookies. As we were finishing up, we had the following conversation:
L: When I grow up I'm going to help you make cookies.
Me: And what else?
L: Clean the kitchen!
Me: And what else?
L: Put the closets away! (I think this means put away clean laundry, but not sure.)
Me: And what else?
L: Get angrier and angrier...

I choose to laugh at this, although it is depressing on two levels if I allow myself to really consider it. First, that she does not consider me to do anything apart from housework, but ALSO that clearly I'm a little bit crappy at stay-at-home-motherhood because she's totally right! I do get mad at them at least once a day! (The listening and following instructions around here is a little bit horrifying lately, so we're going to take some time tomorrow to re-implement the marble jar.)
