On accident? On purpose.

Grandboy: Awwww gwumpa i dropped my bowl of cereal on accident. [blink blink smile blink]

Me: Hm. Ok. Now you can start picking it up on purpose. You dropped it, now you pick it up.

Grandboy: But gwuummmmpa it my hands they can’t behave and they dropped it [blink blink]

Me: Well you’re responsible for your hands. If they can’t behave then you’d better let them know you aren’t happy about making them clean up after themselves.

Grandboy [grumbling, picking up the dry cereal (no milk in the bowl)] Hands get me in trouble.
