shower time

Most of the time Rey will take his shower without any protest. He is generally a clean boy. But there are times when he is too sleepy to wash up. One of the most convincing excuses which he thinks best work for me is...

I: Come on, take your shower. I'm not going to share my bed with a dirty pig.
R: But I'm not a pig!
I: all right, just go now. Shower time!!
R: No, I can't....(and he looks right in my eyes)....I'm trying to save water! You said we shouldn't waste water, right?

Maybe it really convinced me but I let him off that night because I think children have their rights too. Didn't want to end the day with him screaming in the bathroom either.
