He did have a devious idea, but decided to test out other people's compliance first. To test his device further he added the task "Steal all the money out of Mum's purse."

"Hey mum! I need your help with something."

"Sure honey what is it?"

"Well, I have this other task on here, it says I need to steal the money from your purse."

"Oh goodness! Well, it's on my chest of drawers."

You stood there is shock, she really did just tell you how to rob her. She never even let you into her room, and yet here she was commanding you to go to her room to steal her money.

"Well go on then? What's with you today? How do you think an employer would react if they were to catch you doing nothing while there are tasks to be done."

Unable to contain your disbelief, you go up to her room and do so.

he went back downstairs with mum's empty purse as proof of the job well done. his mum genuinely looks pleased. "Good boy" she said. " Have you ticked it off?"

"Yes mum."

"Good I'm glad you are starting to take your productivity seriously. Is there anything else on the list?"

"Well, there is one more thing for now."
