I remember when I was a kid and my mother told me to go wash my face and get ready for dinner. I asked her "Why do I have to wash my face? It's just going to get dirty again!"
Now, some 40 years later I'm in my 4 year old daughters bedroom which is a mess. Clothes and toys and drawings all over the floor. Nothing is in the dressers or shelves. I'm about to put my daughter to bed for the night and I tripped over something. I mentioned that we need to get her room cleaned up this weekend and guess what she said to me? "Why do I need to clean my room? It's just going to get dirty again!"
So, HOW can I argue with that?
I bent over to kiss her goodnight and she asked when I was going to shave off my beard......I just smiled and went to the bathroom and washed my face. :D
