I pointed to the mess:
Me: "Sam, what's this?"
Sam: "Crumbs from my lunch. I was eating chips like Cookie Monster."
Me: "Okay, well you need to clean them up. Get the broom."
Sam: "Cookie Monster doesn't clean up."
True...
Me: "Yes, but you're not Cookie Monster."
Sam: "But I want to be Cookie Monster."
Ahh, yes, that would be nice. Eat cookies all day.
Me: "Ok, well since you're not Cookie Monster, we're going to clean up the crumbs. Together."
Sam: "Ok. Maybe we should teach Cookie Monster to clean up so his Mommy doesn't see a mess."
"Good plan."
