LOL! Good that there was a great ending. I hope the homework deal has worked out better in future tries!

I have to say your household reminds me SO much of my own! I have two girls 10 and 7 and I cannot begin to tell you how many of those exact moments I have had! Kids are sometimes more sarcastic than us adults and many times our discipline backfires on us but in the end we always win (or so we like to think) in your case he did his homework which you wanted – WIN! This gave me a great Monday morning chuckle!
