Mommy's Little Helper

We've been giving Andrew a few chores around the house to hopefully teach him responsibility (and to earn PlayStation minutes). One of these chores is to clean the glass oven door. He sprays it with a little bit of Windex and wipes it clean with a paper towel. No matter how messy the rest of the kitchen is, my oven door is usually sparkling, thanks to Andrew!

The other day, I was upstairs folding Hannah's clothes, when Logan came up and joined me. He seemed to have a glistening look to his face; almost "buttery," I thought.

"What's on your face, Logan?"

"Broccoli Spray."

"What?!"

"Broccoli Spray!"

"Show me!"

He took me to the kitchen where I slipped and nearly fell in a puddle of something greasy. I also noticed my oven door.

Logan had sprayed it with non-stick cooking spray and then scrubbed it with the sponge. Somehow, he also managed to spray it on his face and all over the floor.

"I did a chore!" he announced proudly.

He was just too cute to get mad at him (look at that face), so I thanked him, wiped his face, and then put the cooking spray on a MUCH higher shelf.

It took me a while to figure out why he called it, "broccoli spray." At our house, I would think he would call it, "cookie spray," or "cake spray." Finally, my Mom pointed to the picture on the can.

OH! Broccoli Spray! I get it!
