A Homeschool Mom's Dilemna

My 6 year old asks me yesterday:

"what is more important Mom that I learn to read so I can read to my kids one day or that I clean up my mess?"

Hmmm, challenging one. He's opting to complete his bookwork over the doldrum of cleaning up after himself. I like how he worded it to me. What is a homeschooling Mom to choose??

He can do both of course. He likes learning and working through his Explode the Code workbook. He likes to play, build things and use his imagination. He does not like to clean up the mess he leaves after times of play.
