Good deal?

Lane brought an Indiana Jones lego set home for Riley the other day.  The rule:  You have to play with it at the table so Tyler doesn't choke on the little pieces.  

The boys had played with them and moved on to other things.  Lunch time came and I told the boys to clean them up.  After being ignored a few times I said, "If I have to put the legos away, you can't play with them for the rest of the day.  Do it now!"

I ended up picking then up and putting them on a high shelf.  About an hour later he wanted the toys and was upset that he couldn't have them.  
After dinner, I was cleaning up the dishes and Riley says to me,
"How about we make a deal that I can play Indiana Jones whenever I want to."
For obvious reasons, his request was denied!
