    OK, so, not only is my four year old a neat freak he is also a clothes horse! I was having trouble getting him to pick up his toys, so I told him I would take his favorite toy away if he didn't pick up. With a little sly smile he says "don't daddy". so I knew this was getting me nowhere, so I threatened to take away his favorite shirt. Well, he immediately offered me his favorite toy with an extreme look of agitation, I knew I was on the right track, and, needless to say, he picked up every one of his toys and even offered to pick up everything else on the floor!

    He is definitely not my kid!!

    As an EX-preschool teacher (2-4 year olds) I can tell you that you are a lucky guy. Most of the time it takes them to five or so to get the "Clean up the RIGHT way" thing. LOL

    That is a great story!

    Well, if it was Versace I completely understand his agitation!
