It's Exasperating

In my world today... Uhhhh.... I think there cannot be anything more frustrating than teen boys. What is UP with a certain one this week? Seriously! You'd think he was PMSing or something. The conversation just now was a repeated one from... uhhh... well, several times throughout the last number of months - both with me AND with his dad... about taking a shower. And using a washcloth. You'd think that using a washcloth would kind of be a DUH thing, but apparently not. Both PC and I have explained (and re-explained and re-explained and... you get the picture) that washcloths are necessary for scrubbing dirt off - both when washing dishes and washing bodies - but he apparently still wants to argue. Yay. Well, at least I know why our towels are getting stained. *sigh*

Is there a sure-fire way of pounding sense into one stubborn teen's head?

I'm so tired of arguing with him over stupid things. It feels like the entire last two weeks have been nothing but him wanting to complain and argue. About everything.

Speaking of which, I never told you about the school assignment he just randomly decided he didn't want to do. And so didn't. Yeah, I wasn't happy. And neither was PC. But that's a long enough story for another day.
