Hard to fit it all into her schedule

I know kids today are often over-scheduled, but this is ridiculous. . .

I was putting the Girl Child to bed last night and she and I had the following exchange:

Me: Now that you are about to turn 7, your mother and I think it might be the right time to start giving you an allowance.

Her: [Very excited] Great! What can I start doing around the house?

Me: Well, we haven't decided yet but I think you could start by making your bed every day.

Her: I could do that [tone: earnest] but it would really chew into my time.

I had to leave the room when she said that so she wouldn't see me laugh.
