Ain't Life Grand...

So, what's the harm in asking a child who is doing nothing to do a little chore like putting the silverware away? Evidently, I misunderstood Averie a little- I thought she was "available". So, this is how it went:
Me: Averie, I need you to come and do the silverware.
A: No, I can't... I'm busy.
Me: What are you doing?
A: I am eating popcorn.

Maybe, I can use that excuse sometime, the next time someone asks me to do something? Will it work?
