Reason

As I was driving Hunter to school last week, I suggested he should REALLY brush his teeth and hair EVERY morning.  He snickered a smile at me and said, "I don't want to."  And I replied, other kids won't want to be by you!  His reply, "my friends like me just fine the way I am."

So, I continued - "If you don't take care of yourself, you're going to turn into a pimply, ugly teenager!"

Hunter looked at me and groaned... (I'm ready for the smart remark here...)
"Why do you have to be so reasonable?"
