Just Do It

While we were up at Ma's house for the weekend, our friend Kelly stayed at our place and watched Doolin, our dog.  Doolin gave Kelly a really tough time.  To put it briefly, Doolin made a "messes" in the house and did some destruction.  By the time we got home at the end of the weekend, Kelly was totally fed up with Doolin and refused to watch him ever again.
Kelly came by on Monday to hang out with Christie and Violet.  They all went out and had lunch and generally had a good time.  After they got back to our house, Violet noticed a spot of Doolin puke behind a chair.  She pointed to the stain and said to Kelly, "Clean it up."
Kelly looked stunned so Violet added, "Just do it."
Kelly launched into a diatribe about how all she did was clean up after Doolin and she's not doing that again.
Violet was unmoved.  She looked Kelly in the eye and said, "Just do it."
OK, so Violet was lippy and disrespectful of her elders, not a demonstration of good behavior.  It's something we need to work on.  But it was a funny moment.  I think Auntie Kelly found it funny, stunned as she was.
