Quote: listen to the sound of teenagers engaging in that wonderful passtime called 'No way am I going to do more than HIM."
I just remind the whiner in such a dialogue that this family is not a democracy, it is an autocracy, I am the HMFIC, and said whiner just earned the right to do perform a hat trick. (This recently came up on the subject of "who scrups the pans after dinner" evolution.)
Such conversations are expected to crop up now and again, and in a few years, I get to reply with such witticisms as:
"I guess you don't get the keys to the car for two weeks, how does it feel to have shot yourself in the foot?"
Yes, Dad Rogues can be a Ogres, but it only happens when the whining starts.
