How to Annoy Your Mother

Admire the tableau. Suggest that it would make a good post for your mother’s blog.  Take a few pictures.  Look blank when your mother suggests that the table should be cleaned up and not left this way for the rest of the day.

Say “Jeez!” in a long-suffering tone when ordered to clean up the cereal right now or else.  Sweep a good bit of it onto the floor for your accomplice, who has been waiting all day for something like this to happen and doesn’t care one bit if food other than his regular dog food gives him diarrhea:
