A quote that made me smile

I had a 7 1/2 hour stand off with Lei today. She had to clean her room before she could come out. Started at 1. She decided to take a nap until 3. She came down and I read her How the Grinch stole Christmas and sent her back up to clean. (She has been cleaning her room for months now this is nothing new.) Then the tantrums began. To make a LONG story short she finally was finished at 7:30. So when I carried her into bed later I made a big deal (again) how beautiful her room looked.
Me- Lei this room is gorgeous and so clean. Why is it so clean?
Lei- Because you told me to clean it. Remember? You had a bad attitude.
