Sorry, The Kitchen Is Closed....

(With friend, Andrew, at his Kindergarten Promotion)

We were trying to set up some household routines for the summer and struck on this:

Your room has to be clean before you eat breakfast, and before you eat dinner. If your room isn't clean before dinnertime you don't get dinner.

And: The kitchen closes at 7pm.

So Alex was saying tonight that he wanted some dessert - other than what we were getting at the scout court of honor.

I said, "Sorry, chap, but once we get home it'll be past 7pm and the kitchen will be closed."

He replied,"Can't we just get something from the garage?"
