Kids are smarter than you think. Here are ten creative excuses a Mom might hear when she insists on some help around the house. Appropriate responses are also included.
Number 1:
Child: I’m busy saving the world from alien invaders.
Mom: Playing a computer game doesn't make you a freedom fighter. Get to work.
Number 2:
Child: My imaginary friend, Dwayne, promised he would do it.
Mom: When Dwayne’s done I’ll give him your imaginary allowance.
Number 3:
Child: I can’t take out the garbage, I’m allergic to stink.
Mom: Are you allergic to spending a week in your room?
Number 4:
Child: Doing dishes is not in my contract.
Mom: I’ll see you in court. In the meantime, get 'er done.
Number 5:
Child: I’m building a time machine. When I’m finished, I’ll travel back in time and do it.
Mom: You already built a time machine. I used it to travel here from the future to tell you to clean your room.
Number 6:
Child: Don’t you think it’s unfair to take jobs away from people who need to work?
Mom: Why do you think I became a parent? Free labor.
Number 7:
Child: The dragon that lives under my bed prefers that I keep my room messy.
Mom: The monster standing in front of you is going to eat the dragon.
Number 8:
Child: That’s not trash on the floor in my room; it’s a science experiment.
Mom: Penicillin’s already been discovered. Clean up the mess.
Number 9:
Child: If I clean the floors, you might think we don’t need you anymore.
Mom: Well, I don’t want you to feel left out either. Here’s a mop.
Number 10:Child: I’d rather spend my time hugging you.
Mom: Here's ten bucks. Take the day off.
