Me: LittleJuJu, please pick up the legos
Him: Ok. Mama?
Me: Yes?
Him: Is it ok if I clean up more than my legos?
Me: What do you mean....'more' ?
Him: Like, whatever else needs to be picked up.
Me: Well sure.
Him: Good. I want Daddy to come home to a nice clean house.
Me: ......speechless.......checking his room for drugs.....
