The woes of a 6 year old

Let's set the scene. It's Friday at 4pm, the front door opens and in comes Olivia - home from school at last. She drops her coat, backpack, and boots at the front door and heads off to play. But wait, what's that sound? It's a voice of doom...

ME: Olivia, please unpack your backpack and put your coat and stuff away downstairs.

OLIVIA: But it's the weekend. We don't have to do that on the weekend.

ME: Yes, you do, weekend or not, you can't leave your school stuff at the door.

OLIVIA: (Large sigh of anger) You just ruined my weekend!!!
