Parenting by Star Wars

The boys are in the living room watching TV. They’ve been inside about 20 minutes.

Mayhem: Where is the hot chocolate Mama?

Me: I’m in the middle of something. I’ll make some if you go outside for an hour.

Havoc: We already went outside for a half hour. You said we’d get hot chocolate if we went outside for a half hour

Me: I’m altering the agreement. Pray I don’t alter it further.
