Kids are loitering in the kitchen waiting for lunch in the microwave. As I am clearing off the counter, I hand Riley the Econo-Size Honey Nut Cheerios box that he had gotten out at breakfast so that he can put it away.
He stands there, holding the box as if he is clinging to it for life. I continue working.
Ashley is baffled. "Riley, WHAT are you doing?"
Riley shrugs and continues to stand there as if he and the Honey Nut Cheerios box will be one for all eternity.
Ashley is becoming more and more baffled and agitated, "What are you doing? Why are you just standing there?"
Another shrug accompanied by a self-satisfied look as if the Honey Nut Cheerios box completes his physical being.
Ashley can stand it no longer, crosses the kitchen, grabs the box from Riley and puts it away.
Riley is looking even more satisfied than ever and says, "Thank you."

THAT is HILARIOUS.
When I was little I discovered my sister would load the dish-washer if I started out doing it sloppily enough.
What a smart kid your so is :)
LOL! That's too funny!! You should have gotten that on tape, that's a classic!
Must be a big sister thing... my brothers figure out the manipulation thing early on... I look back at the stuff they got me to do for them and laugh now.
Do you think that would work on Nathaniel now?
Sounds like a smart boy. He knows how to get things done, huh!
Genious. I'm going to become one with the piles of folded laundry this afternoon... :)
