It is becoming increasingly more important that my instructions to my children are concise.
About two weeks ago, I told Tyler to "put on his pajamas." He did in fact follow those instructions. He was in the bed and walked out to the family room about 10 minutes later. I said, "Son, why are you out of the bed?" He replied, "Umm, mommy, I am not wearing any underwear. See my cho-cho." I busted out laughing.
Fast forward to last night: I provided the same instructions. "Go to your room and put on your pajamas." This time, I put the underwear on his bed. This morning, he woke up and proceeded to get dressed for school. He did not close his room door. I turned and saw all his nakedness. I asked why didn't he put on any underwear last night. He just busted out laughing.
Precision with instructions is critical.
