We're Done with That

Garett had been ignoring me when I asked him to do things. Not in an obstinate way- just a forgetful way. He would intend to do what I had said, but he would fall short of actually accomplishing it. Fed up, I told him we were not doing that anymore. I told him that we were going to start right then and there and when I asked him to do something, he was to stop whatever he was doing IMMEDIATELY and do the thing I asked. We did this for about a week. Tonight I asked him to do something and he didn't do it. I reminded him of our new arrangement of doing the thing I asked immediately. His response? "Oh, I thought we were done with that." He thought we were back to business as usual!
