Kids Perspective

It's interesting how kids can just know how you are feeling with out you knowing just how you are feeling.
I was helping my 8 and 7 year old boys with their homework after trying to give them and my 6 year old daughter their first lesson on how to read music. I felt like their music lesson hadn't gone very good and they probably weren't going to want to do it again. It seem as though homework was going a lot better than usual and I began to think why that was so. And noticed my 6 years old voice along with my 2 and 3 years old. I felt amazed at how mature my daughter was to have gone and played with her little brother and sister so that I could help her brothers with their homework.
They sounded like they were having so much fun I soon became suspicious and decided to check on them. Heading to my daughters room I discovered they were in the bathroom not her bedroom. I knew this couldn't be good. I opened the door and found my children scrubbing the wall, my 2 and 3 year old with their toothbrush and my 6 year old with a wash cloth.
I was not happy and in my firm mom's voice asked them what they thought they were doing. My 6 year old replied "Your chores mommy so we won't be grumpy anymore." I was a little surprised and let then know I loved them I would try not to be grumpy for the rest of they day if they wouldn't do anymore chores for me.
