At the end of a long binge-watching session late in the night when all in the family were waiting to hit the bed, the mother spilt some water on the floor and asked son2 to help with cleaning up the mess. She had to insist twice, seeing some reluctance to comply.
Overheard this conversation between the sons when they thought they were beyond our earshot -
Son2 (aged about 9 in a low sad voice): When WE make a mess we have clear it up ! When THEY make a mess also we have to clear it up!
Son1 (aged 11, getting started on pre-teen angst) : Oh yeah! I know rite?
Son2: I have been thinking about this for years!
