It was Ian's bedtime. When I looked at the living room floor, toys were all over the place.
"Ian," I said, "You need to1 all those toys before you go to bed."
"Daddy," he said, "I'm too tired."
My first thought was to2 him to clean up the room. Instead, I went into the bedroom, laydown, and said, "Ian, come here. Let's play Humpty Dumpty."
He climbed up to my knees and I said, "Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great3 ." And he fell. Ian laughed and said, "Let's do it again." Well, after the third fall, I said, "Okay, but first go and pickup those 4 ."
Without thinking, Ian ran into the living room and 5 the job in ninety seconds.
