These words are used several times a day by my precious grandson Johnathan – anytime he doesn’t want to do what is being asked of him.
I have found myself thinking these same words - more than once since he was last here. The truth is if we are going to be honest, we all probably do many things each day while, in our heart of hearts, we are saying, “I can’t want to do this!”
For example……
The toilet needs swished……I can’t want to!
The 5 baskets of clean laundry need folded and put away……I can’t want to!
The kitchen floor needs mopped – again……I can’t want to!
The dog needs a bath….I really can’t want to!
The rabbit cage needs cleaned out (still!)……I can’t want to!

You get the idea…Try it out! It sounds a whole lot better than saying “No!” “Not now!” “You can’t make me!”
P.S. The caption for the photo: "I can't want to be clean!" (Johnathan and Austin LOVE the garden and its piles of great dirt!)
