I'm Busy

We were enjoying the wonderful weather today, with a heat wave (55 degrees) moving through the area. Farmer Boy, the Princess and Cookie Monster were all outside playing for a few hours after school. Cookie Monster needed to refuel by filling his sipper cup. So I filled it for him and he took it outside.
An hour later, he came inside and asked for milk. I asked him where his sipper cup was. "Outside in the play house," was his response.
"Go get it," I told him. I'd like to add that I said "please," but at that point, probably not. I know, I'm a bad mom.
So he went outside and quickly came running back in.
"Where is your coat?"
"Outside," he said with his determined voice.
"Well, go get it while I fill your sipper," I said, again withOUT adding please.
"I'm busy," he told me.
What? As you tell me every day, you are "two-halfs." What exactly are you busy with?
Maybe mom better get busy teaching one little guy how to listen....
