Do you struggle getting your kids to clean? Do you have a secret technique to share with the rest of us? Today what I did worked, but I don't know that I can do this every single time!
[Music]
what are you doing here
i haven't seen you in so long
look it's my friends
so i thought i'd try like a blues clues
intro this morning you know
um everybody likes blue's clues anyways
how's it going guys it's good to see you
so danielle's going home tonight we have
a couple things to do today one get this
house back in shape i don't know if you
can tell but our house is a bit of a
mess i always try to clean it up before
she comes home from a trip
uh because who wants to come home to a
destroyed nasty house
not me so i'm recruiting the kids to
help me get this done because let's be
honest this is all their mess anyways do
you see me throwing stuff on the floor
or leaving crayons and coloring books
all over the table
no not me and i told them if they do a
really good job and we can knock this
out fast that with whatever time we have
left until dinner time we'll go out and
do something fun like maybe go to the
arcade so let's get to it and i know
what you're thinking is there even an
arcade anymore john i don't even think
they exist anymore and the answer to
that question is i have no idea but i
said it so i have to find one
so i just found out there's some stains
in our cushion covers luckily they're
machine washable bam bam bam but i don't
know if i'm going to be able to get it
out they had juice on it they don't
usually they're not allowed to have
juice i'm supposed to be drinking juice
at the table
and that's it
i guess that wasn't doing a good job
yesterday but
we're gonna try to get it out and see
what happens so while i'm at it i'm
gonna get the rest of these
covers off and just wash them all right
i've gotta start with this kitchen
it is
9 30.
[Music]
did we have a time change last night
mary came in my room this morning and i
looked at my phone and it said 7 15 and
i was like oh why do i feel so tired
it's 7 15 i guess it's time to get up
because it's stinking time change
and it was really 6 15 to my body i mean
thing lost an hour of my day
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
does anybody else's kids just like to do
like the bare minimum and think that
that's gonna like
pass
ain't gonna happen i told them they're
not going to the arcade today because
they don't keep cleaning and they're
explaining around they cleaned up some
in their room a little bit not great
and like
i'm trying to give you a reward
something fun to do
