Eli's Future Career

I told Eli that after he and Dora took a nap, we could have an egg hunt.

He just came down (without having taken a nap.)

I said, "I guess we aren't having an egg hunt because you didn't take a nap."

He said, "Well, I laid up there really quiet for an hour." (True.)

I said, "I told you we would do an egg hunt only if you took a nap--I specified that we'd do it when you WOKE UP."

He said, "Well, I would have taken a nap but the sound from the vacuum kept me up. That's not my fault."

I said, "It doesn't matter the reason--I said an egg hunt after your nap."

He said, "Well, Dora is taking a nap because her bedroom is further away so the vacuum didn't wake her up. That's the reason I didn't take one and you turned on the vacuum so I should still get an egg hunt. And it's a rip off (new word we just learned) for Dora if she doesn't get one since she took a nap."

While I type this, he's still arguing for why he should get an egg hunt with some other alternate reasons why he should still have one. I will admit-I was hoping he'd go into medicine, but law is seeming more and more likely.
