Yesterday, both older boys were instructed to pick up the massive tidal wave of legos covering their bedroom floor. I walk up to check on their progress.
Me to Josh: “Hey Josh, I see you’re reading a book. Why are you reading a book and not picking up your legos?”
Josh: “I’m reading to Sam to help him pick up the legos faster.”
Me: “Really.”
*I can just see it in 20 years- Josh makes local interest news station for this headline: “Local entrepreneur uses newly acquired skills to create unprecedented motivation in employees, resulting in a 100% increase in productivity.*
Let’s hope it’s that and not “Local scam artist was ratted out by his own younger brother and both are now doing time in the state pen for bank fraud.”
