Not my DC, but my nieces: making them close their eyes for surprises and presents. I'm sure they just want me to hand them over!

Don’t touch my plants! Watch my plants! :D

Both my children’s answers were almost identical. I do have a bit of an urban jungle and take my houseplants very seriously.

SherbertStrawberry · 27/07/2020 20:15

Drinking cups of tea.

Hanging washing outside.

Drinking enough water.

About DH it would be coffee, and baking bread. In a very lighthearted and laughing conversation with DH about tidying up, DS (he’s 6) replied to DH ‘oh yeah? Why not just go bake some bread and leave me alone!’

KeirStarmerDonkeyFarmer · 27/07/2020 20:23

A conversation I overheard with my dc and friend when friend spotted an avocado in our fruit bowl:

F: what’s that?
DC: an avocado, don’t you know what an avocado is?
F: no
DC: aren’t your parents obsessed with guacamole?

So, guacamole I guess? 😄
