How to annoy your children: Part 347

How to Annoy Your Kids in Six Easy Steps

1. Ignore the appliance they left on the counter. Don't clean it. 
2. Without warning or notice put the appliance away as-is... do not clean it in any way. 
3. When the appliance is reported missing, know exactly where it is.  (This will be mystifying to your child.  Don't tell them how you know - you're MAGIC!)  Tell the child where the item is and let them retrieve it.
4. When your child proclaims (with looks of disgust) that the appliance is "filthy" and "moldy" give them instructions on how to clean it. DO NOT ASSIST!
5. When they are done cooking and eating, remind them to clean up the kitchen.
6. When kitchen cleanup is "done" calmly call your child back and point out everything they missed. One item at a time. Important: do NOT show any emotion or frustration.  Just act like it is no big deal, but be sure to point out every single thing that was left out, every crumb you can find on the counter... all of it.

Based on my experience there is a 100% chance that this will drive a teen to the brink of insanity. 

Have fun!
