Today's lesson: correctly using "If...then" statements.

Mom: "Colby, IF you are able to accomplish all of these tasks, THEN you should be toilet trained." "Do you think you can try one?"

Colby: "Of course, mother. I would be absolutely delighted to demonstrate my understanding of this concept..."
"IF you would buy me the regular sized candy bars as "potty treats" instead of one pointless M&M, THEN I might use the restroom correctly".

Mom: "Well, OK... good. I think you have it."
"Would you mind taking my phone messages and setting the table? I need to run to the store real quick."
