Mums are a strange breed no matter how old you get.
If my mum used to ask if I'd put my washing on or cleaned the bathroom or something I always used to answer what she wanted to hear even if I hadn't done it. Out of the kindness of her heart she tended to believe me which gave me a few mins grace to go do whatever it was I was supposed to have done.
Of course that only works if you actually do like you're told to....other wise you get an arse whipping for A) not doing and B)Lying about it.
It's taken me till I'm 21 to figure out a batter alternative.
Mum: Have you cleaned that bath round?
Me: No
Mum: will you do it then please
Me: probably not but I'll consider it
She thinks that means I will actually do it
When I don't do it I can say I never said I'd do and and I can't get a whiping for lying bout it either
Yes I am bored and yes I am trying to avoid homework
Oh and before any smart arse suggests actually doing as I'm told....it's boring and too easy!
