I think we have all done this

I asked Sariah to clean her room last week. She got it done in amazing speed and with a positive attitude. I was feeling very proud as a mother. The next day I went into her room. It was so clean it made me so happy. Then I turned to her closet to put her shoes away ...

and this is what I see. I was deceived. She tricked me like we all have. It did make me laugh though. Needless to say that day after school I pulled all of it out and made her redo her work. Isn't that what parents do best?

I love it. You're right, we have all done this. Sometimes I still feel like doing it.

Reminds me of Jantzen's recent 'trick'. I asked him to put away his clean clothes and he added them to the dirty clothing pile...thinking I wouldn't notice?!
