Housework

All 3 of my children have chores to help me out as I work full-time.
 Kieron's jobs are drying up after dinner, hoovering downstairs and mopping the wooden floors weekly.
Kieron often gets out of the drying up as his older brother needs to wash up first and Kieron is often in bed by the time this happens. He's realised that if he can distract his brother long enough, the plates etc dry on the rack and that's one job dodged. When Kieron does dry up, he practically gift wraps individual items in a tea towel then spreads it all over the work top before running out of room.
Washing the floors is quite fun as the mop has a button he presses to send a wee-like stream of water over the floor. This leads to giggles about weeing on the floor and Kieron tries to aim at the cats.
Vacuuming needs to be monitored. Kieron tends to hoover himself, the cats, block the nozzle with stray pieces of Lego and anything else in his path. He also seemed to experience rather adult feelings! Kieron was hoovering in the lounge with the door shut. After he was cleaning for far longer than necessary, I opened the door to see him with a huge grin on his face and his willy stuck up the nozzle!! I collapsed in giggles, Kieron joined in and pranced around the room with the hoover still firmly attached to the front of his boxers. Afterwards, this episode became entrenched in family history as " do you remember when I stuck my willy up the hoover?". Yet another bittersweet memory.
