This morning before I got up and went to work (I'm teaching summer school. And no, I am NOT crazy, why do you ask?) I woke Kira up and told her to scrub the shower because her miles-long hair clogs the drain, and her gallons of conditioner make a layer of slippery scuz on the floor.
When I got home the shower was clean. I was happy.
Then Sam wandered up to me and asked, "Hey Mom, did you tell Kira to tell me to clean the shower this morning?" I said, "NO, WHY?!" He said, "Oh. Well, I cleaned the shower."
I was immediately irritated with Kira. That little turd, I thought. I give her one thing to do and she pawns it off. Ugh! So I said to her, "I told YOU to clean the shower, not Sam. Why did you tell him to do it?" She could see I was annoyed and said, "Hey, the shower is clean, right? What difference does it make who did what?"
She had a point. Then I was irritated with Sam and said, "WHY on earth would I wake Kira up to tell her to tell you to do something? Why would you even believe that? Come ON!"
And then Sam felt like an idiot.
It was a win-win day for Kira.
