Right now: Meggie is skeptical

Meggie said she wanted to watch a movie "on the big TV" in the living room. I told her she'd have to help me straighten it up then. That is, deconstruct the large pillow fort she and her sister built, return the pillows to their proper places on the couches and dust around the room. Half-way through dusting the pictures...

m*: Hey, is this what it's like being a grown-up?
h: Like what?
m*: Like this. Doing boring stuff all the time.
h: Well, there are a lot of boring things you have to do in life.
m*: Ugh. Are there any good things about being a grown-up? Any fun things you can do?
h: Sure! Because I'm a grow-up, I get to be your mom.
m*: Hmmm.
