She waited until the last minute to do laundry yesterday. So when I woke her up this morning, I said to her, “put on some dirty clothes, go to the dryer, get some clean clothes, then go take a shower.” The dryer is in the kitchen pantry and I was making tea, which is why she had to put on dirty clothes.
So first, she just went to the shower and I repeated it again when I heard the shower door open. Then she got her dirty clothes on and came out with her iPad because I guess she thought she was going to have breakfast.
I told her to put down the iPad and get the clean clothes and I said “go take those and get a shower.”
AND SHE STARTED TAKING HER CLOTHES OFF IN FRONT OF ME!
I very quickly said, “no, take the clean clothes to your room, go take a shower, then put the clean clothes on.” She’s taking a shower now, so I hope she figured it out.
She was sort of staggery and grumbly the whole time too. Very little intelligible speech.
If she hasn't and you hear I was killed and my brain was eaten, that's why.
Hey, you gotta be specific with kids, and teenagers need extra precision. You're lucky they didn't put on clean clothes and then get a shower since that's the original order it came in.
The good news is that I still have just as much brain as I did before I woke her up. Which... well you be the judge there.
