Me: Tomorrow I will teach you both how to clean your bathroom.
Nathan: Well, I already know how to wipe out the sink.
Me: Good, then I can teach you how to clean the rest of it... like the toilet.
Nathan: Oh, I won't be cleaning any toilets. Sully can do that.
Me: Well, you need to know how to clean it so when you grow up and live on your own, you won't have a nasty toilet.
Nathan: I'll just have my wife clean it.

Wow! Nathan's already off on the wrong foot. And at such an early age, too. He won't keep a wife very long in the 21st Century if he(a) expects her to do all the unpleasant jobs around the house and (b) believes that one can make a wife respond like a trained dog and willingly do what she is told. Oh, dear!
Fortunately, I don't think his reasoning is that deep. Just a seven year old trying to avoid the most gruesome of tasks... cleaning *gasp* the toilet! Don't you know what those things are used for- LOL!
I think at this point he'd trade that one task for the rest of Sully's chore list. Especially if Sully would also take care of all the Duke pies in the back yard. Unfortunately for his future wife, he'll have it figured out in the next 20 years, that toilet clean-up and pooper-scooping are not as bad as all that and he'll be less willing to trade all the other chores just to avoid toilet cleaning.
