Oh, do stop whining and grow up, my dear.

Wait -- that argument won't work for you.

My daughter complained when she was four that she's always being bossed around.

I told her that when she grows up she will still do all those thing like brush her teeth, get ready for bed. But nobody is going to make her do it. She will do them on her own. I told her look at me and her mother and all the stuff we do and there is no one telling us to do them.

The look on my daughter's face was horror as the realization of what is to come hit her.
