See How Molly Obeys And Is Tired of Bananas

Me: "Hey Molly can you help mom clean up the kitchen a little?"

Molly: "Suuuurrre Mama."

Me: "Great! Take this Spanish book that dad reads to you and crayons up to your book basket then come back down and I'll have something else for you."

Molly comes back down fairly quickly.

Me: "Good job Molly. Okay, now here are Ben and Sam's cow bells dad brought back from the Tour of California. Take them upstairs and put them on Ben's shelf."

Molly: "You got it mom."

Again, quick return.

Me: "Molly you are such a great chore helper. One last thing, can you take Sam's soft guy and put it on his bed."

Molly: "Mom, time me okay?" This is a "trick" I use quite often, mostly for Sam so he'll do something fast.

Me: While setting my watch, "Okay, GO!!!"

Then I don't hear from Molly for a while. I decided I'd better check. This is what I found.

Crayons not only not in the basket, but spilled down the stairs. Book just a few steps from the bottom of the stairs.

Cow bells made it on the top of the stairs at least.

Sam's soft guy up the stairs but about 20 feet from his room.

This is what Molly was busy doing. Each Post-it note has something drawn on it and arranged in a pattern. She was very proud of her "master piece."
Side note: Here is a note that Molly asked her preschool teacher to write me. Molly knows how to work BOTH me and the preschool teacher. Later that day we went and bought peaches.

Vicki, I love it! This made me laugh! Andrew cleans like that too, so I understand! Peaches are a good choice. LOL
