I have a hard time telling (or even asking) my kids to do chores. In
fact, I can't even do it. It ain't cool, I know. And I'm not bragging about
it, believe me. In my mind the conversation would go something like
this:
Me: Annie, will you please go outside and rake the leaves?
Kid: Hey, asshole, let me ask you a question: Did I ask you to bring
me into this fucked up world? No, I didn't. Not even close. But now that
I'm here you want to turn me into some sort of fucking child slave to do your
bidding? That's how you roll, huh? Jesus, you disgust me.
