When I was younger and naive I used to be like you...LOL

I too used to live under the rule - you can' t go play in the woods until you finish the LIST.

You have to put your foot down and make them realize that if I don' t get into the woods taht darn list won' t EVER get done!!!![][:-]

This doesn' t work of course - but at least you feel more like a man as you wash the windows
