Kerri: "I don't want to go to school today."
Mommy: "It is your responsibility and obligation to go to school, just like it is Daddy's to go to work."
Kerri: "I don't care. It should be illegal to go to school."
Mommy: "If you didn't go to school, how would you learn everything you want and need to know?"
Kerri: "From you of course!"

Kerri: "I don't like your rules. I shouldn't have to have rules."
Mommy: "Well, someday when you live on your own you can make up your own rules."
Kerri: "I am going to move out and build a house and you are going to come live with me and you are going to have to follow my rules!"
