Clothes on the Floor
My wife tells me our oldest is getting as bad as our youngest about leaving clothes on the floor, particularly pajamas. They just take them off in the morning and expect to leave them on the floor until nightfall when they'll wear them again. I said no problem, I know just what to tell them.
I go downstairs and they're both sitting on the couch. I tell them we have a situation we need to address. They've been leaving their pajamas on the floor when they get dressed. Before I was married to their mom, I would change clothes and leave them on the floor wherever I changed or undressed. That all changed when we married, and now clothes either go in the dirty clothes hamper or back in the dresser if they can be worn again without washing, such as pajamas. I don't leave my pajamas on the floor.
"Now, if I have to do this, so do you," I added.
Our five year old looked a bit puzzled, and then he worked it out. "So you're saying we can just leave our pajamas on the floor until we get married?"
