A real life conversation with Cole...

*After slaving away once again preparing dinner for my starving off-spring, I tried for the 4th time no less to get some movement out of this kid and help set the table. Our conversation went a little something like this:
 "Hey, Mr. Cole....could you please throw your gum wrapper away and pick up your markers and paper off the table?"

 -Remember..4th time, no joke.

Finally some response- "What did you say to do mom?"

"I said, spin around 5 times and then do a perfect handstand..with your eyes closed."

Completely serious response: "Why would you say that...it doesn't make any sense?"

And that folks about sums it all up.
