haha, getting my kids to do anything to help around here is a job in itself.

I have a question that I'm going to post in the cf thread for you.

Yeah, if I do nothing I feel like doing nothing.

Here's the secret. If someone tells me to do something I refuse. But if I decide to do it I do it!

My daughter is just like me. If my wife tells her to do something she won't do it. Pisses my wife off to no end. So I /ask/ her and she does it.

Because my wife LOVES to bark orders. That's how she thinks things get done.

My daughter and I are from the same mold. We will drag our feet until we feel like doing it.

My daughter is 14 so she's quite aware of what she's doing. And she knows that when I ask I really mean do it or else, but she feels that she at least has a choice instead of an order.

Shave your hair, then people will /think/ you're a human weapon.

And grow a goatee. People don't mess with people with beards.

You ever seen Santa take a hit? No... that's the beard in action.
