The best part is watching the kids' reactions. They're all having a blast. |

Found this last night.
Definitely a must-see video for anyone who uses specifications. |

The creators of this video must have read Andrew Civitello's Contractor's Guide to Change Orders. |

I pity the father in this house. When he tells the children to got to their rooms, they are back in the kitchen in 60 seconds and explain, "you said "go to our rooms, not go into our rooms, not to stay in our rooms, not to be quiet in our rooms..."
Thanks for a much needed laugh,

Ah, yes, critical thinking and questioning authority - good kids! |

I've always approached writing specifications as if they were addressed to young children or a being from a different planet. |
