What part of I ran the dishwasher...unload it..... Is confusing or misleading to you? Let me tell you what it does not mean. It does not mean take all the dirty dishes and throw them in there with the clean ones and walk away. It does not mean look at me with that state of confusion look on your face when I call you back to the house to ask you what the Happy Hippo you were thinking when you put dirty dishes in the dishwasher with clean ones!
Cleaning your room does not mean to throw everything into your walk in closet and close the door......BECAUSE in case you have not noticed gifted child...... that is the first place I look when you convince me that your room is clean...every time..... the first place.
I am about to start making all of you sign contracts when we have conversations because.... if .....I hear you say one more time that...... I never told you to do that...when I know that I Drippin Dragon did...I may lose it!

You can
You will
You shall
Learn to listen to the words coming out of my mouth
You can

You shall
Wake up and smell the coffee
Or

I will
I shall
Put you on a lock down like you have never seen
BrittJoshBeckZach YOU ARE!!!!!

And you can't trust the buggers to do what you tell them to. Oh, the hard lessons I have learned when I've told the oldest to do something...EXPECTED her to do it..and had the nerve to be SHOCKED when she didn't do it. AND she still expected to go somewhere and for me to give her money to go.
I've threatened many times to run screaming into the night. And they don't understand why.....
