7-year old logic

My younger brother, Kleo(7) has an area in the boys room that he is responsible to keep clean. Well he doesn't like to keep it clean, and mom will go help him clean it up sometimes. So Christmas is coming and I come up with an excellent plan to motivate Kleo to keep his area clean. I go into his room where he is slowly cleaning up and I say "there is 19 days till Christmas and I will give you a stick of gum for everyday that you have your area clean." (sugar free gum, of course). "And on Christmas you will get a nice present." His eyes light up and he says "Ooo gum!  I wonder what my present will be! Maybe a hundred boxes of toys!" He laughs wickedly, than stops "No! I don't want toys! Toys are my worst enemy!!!" I laugh at him and look at Klement, who is supervising Kleo and I say "what?" Klement laughs and says "he doesn't like toys, because than he has to clean them up." 
*Laughs* Yeah, Kleo is a rather funny child. But that is his logic, if he has to clean it up, he doesn't like it. Lol! :)
