Remember when you were told to clean your room, do your homework and take out the trash? If you were like me, you didn't like it but grudgingly did it.
Now there are those of us who are on the other side of that conversation and have found out that diplomacy works diddly squat. The conversation has degenerated to the daily state of telling our progeny to clean their room, do their homework and take out the trash.
On the bright side, "get me a beer" works most of the time and is mighty useful.
