ROFL @ the title -- I love that. We recently read the story "Hills Like White Elephants" and I told my teacher that the Elephants were having a Sally Field moment because the hills liked them, they really did.
Yeah, you all ought to know how weird I am by now.
But back on topic, what I think is really surprising is that you actually CAN make an 11 year old boy wash your car. All it takes is to ground him first because he got bad grades on his report card, including his computer time, then bribe him with an hour of playing World of Warcraft.
For two hours, I bet I can get him to vacuum the inside, too.
