Stairs

Last night when we got home it was time to eat dinner and Asher was dawdling and refusing to take off his shoes.

"Shoes ON!"

So I told him that if he didn't take off his shoes he was going to have to eat his rice there on the stairs.

When I put the rice on the table I saw that he had taken his shoes off, so I was surprised when he yelled in protest, ran over to the table, grabbed his bowl of rice and marched back to the stairs.

Apparently, he didn't realize it was a threat. He thought it was a promise.
