Me: Son, I want you to get up, clean your room and then go get in the shower.
Son: *quizzical look on his face* Why do I have to take a shower?
Me: Because you haven't taken one for several days.
Son: I took one ... *long pause, eyes slowly drift toward the ceiling and an even more confused look cloaks over his face*
Me: Son *snaps my fingers to wake him up* ... if you have to try and re-mem-ber when the last time you took a shower - it's been too long.
*sigh*
