Yesterday while doing the grocery shopping, I suckered succeeded in convincing my daughter into cooking dinner for the next week. It went like this…

Me: So… you cooking dinner tonight?

Chelsea: Awww… (Typical teenage moan of “do I have to?”)

Me: Oh.. so I’M expected to put dinner on the table for 6 every night even though I work full time and chaufeur kids around and clean and…. (Fill in typical Mum moan here.)

Chelsea: It’s not THAT hard to cook dinner!

Me: *Evil glint in my eye as a plan blooms into fruition* You couldn’t handle cooking for 6 for ONE WEEK!

Chelsea: Yes I could! I will! I’ll make out a dinner plan for a week and if you buy the ingredients, I’ll cook every night!

Me: *internal self high-five* Fine! You do that and I’ll buy the groceries.

Chelsea: Fine!
