One of my kids tried for a while to get out of chores by delay tactics. I would ask her to do something and she would repeat it back and ask me to confirm. I would say yes and then she would do it again. Clever trick I admit. Eventually it stopped working
Me: pick up your socks and put them away please
Her: wait you want me to pick up my socks?
Me: yes
Her: and then put them away?
Me: yes
Her: so you are asking me to pick up my socks and put them away?
Me: yes the man who brought you from the void of non-existence and paid for every meal you have ever ate and the home you live in is asking you to please pick up the socks he bought you and put them away!
I only get the witty spontaneous one-liners about once a decade so that felt pretty good.
