Dialogue

Here's a sample of dialogue from my house last night.

Doug: Ahava, are you cleaning your room?
Ahava: No, Daddy. My nose is bothering me. It makes me want to play.

Later, Isaac (who turns three today) was playing in the living room while his sister "cleaned" their room.

Renee: Why isn't Isaac helping Ahava clean?
Doug: He never cleans. I don't pick battles that have no end.
