Clean??

In trying to teach the kids to clean up after themselves

 I called Mason back in to clean up the pan

 he had used to make Mac n Cheese.  

He did a total half way job and set the pan back on the counter. 

When I explained to him that it wasn't totally clean and 

that he needed to clean it again and also dry it and 

hang it up.  He told me that the rest of the

stuff in it was from the Cream of Wheat that I had made this morning.  

His response caught me of guard and totally made me laugh.  

For one I had used a completely different pan and 

had cleaned it and hung it up hours ago.

For two why would he use a pan that was already dirty

to cook his lunch in?

And for three does he think that you just clean out your part of 

the food in the pan and then someone else will come and clean out their part?

Or do you just do a good job and clean out the entire pan in one shot 

and be done with the whole thing?

Who else would come up with and answer like that besides Mason??

Im wondering if I start doing the laundry and dishes and cleaning and

all the other things I do in a day with a half way attitude if someone else

will come behind me and do it the right way.  I guess if I had a cleaning

lady she could take care of all those small details.  

So until then we will all learn to clean up after ourselves so I 

don't have a melt down-freak out!!!!

I love you Mason!!!!
