Not quite perfect

Yesterday

Maddie:  Dad, can you take Aimee and me to the store?

Rod:  I don't feel like it.  Maybe later.

Aimee:  What?  I need to go NOW.  I HAVE to get something for my homework.

Rod:  I don't want to.

Maddie:  Why are you being like that?

Rod:  I'm just responding with what I heard this morning when I asked you to help with chores.

Maddie:  Well that's not fair.  I did the chores even though I didn't want to.

Rod:  Yes, but not when I asked you to.

Maddie:  You know, Dad, we aren't perfect yet.  We are still a work-in-progress so you should remember that and cut us some slack.
