If you give your husband an ice cube...

If you give your husband an ice cube, you'll have to give one to your two year old, and if you give an ice cube to your two year old, you'll have to give one to your one year old. And, if you give your one year old an ice cube, he's going to make a mess with it, so you'll have to clean it up. The boys will want to help you clean up, so they'll pull all of the washcloths out of the drawer. The washcloths will remind them of the washcloths they use in the tub, so they'll want to take a bath. When they take off their clothes, they'll want to put them in the laundry. Seeing all the laundry will remind them about all the washcloths they got out, so they'll go get those and add them to the pile. They'll help you put all the laundry in the washer, and you'll do the laundry. After the laundry is dried, the boys will want to help you fold it. So, you'll fold the laundry. Then you'll fold it again since the boys are "helping" you. After the laundry is folded, and the boys are bathed, you'll all be thirsty, so you'll get some water from the kitchen. Daddy will want a drink too, and chances are, if he gets a glass of water, he'll want an ice cube to go with it.
