Jonathan doesn't like to do chores, whether it's putting away toys or clearing his place at the table. The only thing he does do without complaint--in fact insists upon doing--is dumping out his potty seat into the toilet.
Robert had a dish of whole dried plums, and I saw that Jonathan was eating one. I told Robert, "That was certainly nice of you to share your snack with Brother." He said, "I didn't give him one--he helped himself." I went over and looked in the bowl--there was one left. "How many did he take?" I asked. I realized that was a stupid question and started taking the plums out of Jonny's mouth. One, two, three, four were pulled out, just like the magicians' scarf trick.
Robert recently graduated from Nickelodeon to the Cartoon Network, and I'm worried if it might be a bad influence on Jonathan. Last night, out of the blue, he said, "Not another zombie massage!"
Robert has started many clubs over the years, including the infamous "Butt Club". That club is for anyone who says that particular word . It's very popular with the under 6 crowd, who think the word "butt" is hilarious. His latest is the "No Adults Allowed Club". I asked him who was eligable to join the club, and he said, "Anyone who goes to our church who is under 30."
