My husband took my son, age 8, camping for five days and they had a fantastic time hiking, climbing and getting very, very dirty. On their way home, we met up at the grandparents' house to celebrate a cousin's birthday.
I asked my son to go take a shower before we ate because he was so grubby. He didn't want to, but he agreed that he'd do it after he had cake and ice cream. We ate, we sang happy birthday, and we had dessert.
"Now you have to go take a shower," I told my son.
"No I don't," he replied. "You said I had to do it after cake and ice cream, so I only ate ice cream."
