Lego trauma

My son has a very extensive lego collection.  We keep his lego collection in 2 huge rubbermaid tubs.  I also keep in my living room a small table for him to play with them on.  Every time he dumps out the large bins to search for a part it takes a few hours of us prodding him to clean them up.  Today was the dawning of a new era!!  Searching for a door by pawing though them not wanting to dump them out he says to me, “Dad can you dump this out so I can find a door for my house?”.   Ok this seems harmless at first but you should know that the rule of the house is if you dump it out you clean it up.  This phrase I have repeated many times trying to get him to clean them up.  He gets points for that one but he still had to clean it all up.
