I got to sleep in this morning because on Tuesday's the swimming pool is cleaned in the morning, so practice is at 4:45pm.

I told Barbara I was hungry.  I decided I wanted four slices of frozen raisin bread and milk.  Then I was told I had one chore and 30 minutes I reading to do before I could play and that I should get them out of the way before kids were ready to play.  I decided I didn't want to use the new vacuum to vacuum GGM bedroom.  I was sleepy and wanted to sleep.  So I went to bed and in ten minutes I was asleep and I slept for at least two hours.

I was then reminded of my chore and reading.  I said I was hungry for lunch.  I ate a chicken salad sandwich.  I argued that I didn't want to vacuum GGM's room.. I would vacuum my room.  Barbara had already vacuumed all the other rooms, expect GGM's because she was napping at that time.  To end this story:  I did not do my chore and I read one minute.  I didn't want to help clean up my two toy boxes.  I didn't want to be helpful in any way.   Needless to say, Barbara was not happy with me.

At one point said I was not going to swim practice but I changed my tune when Daddy was going to come take me.  I did go to practice nicely with Barbara.   I found out I made the All-Star team and will swim the breast stroke.  I also found out I will have swim practice next week also.

I came home nicely and was well behaved, but it was because Barbara was not being friendly to me in any way.  For example: I could not play on the playground after swim practice because it was hot and she wanted to get to some air conditioning.  She would not let me use her phone until after I ate and put my dishes in the dishwasher without being told to... and then it was only for five minutes.  She tries to live by the Golden Rule.  But she has decided being nice and trying to help me have fun and be happy doesn't work.  I hope she gets over this "thinking of herself first and me second" goes away soon.  She hopes she can keep it up a long time until I realize being inconsiderate it a horrible way to be.  She says being considerate is a top character trait she likes in people.

As soon as Mommy got home, Barbara was through with me.  She ate her dinner and went to her room to get in bed and read.
