An exchange I just had with my 14 year old son... after he walked down the stairs into the family room:
Me: Is that shirt clean?
T: yeah....
Me: that's funny, becuase I saw that shirt lying on the bathroom floor just yesterday. So, is that shirt clean???
T: Well... I don't have to go anywhere....
Me: yeah, well I still have to smell you... so you could at least put on a clean shirt.
T goes sullenly back upstairs and comes down with a clean shirt and a scowl on his face.
A mother's work is never finished...

Don't feel so bad. I have the exact conversation with your Dad on a regular basis. It must be a "guy" thing.
You really ask a lot, Christy. ;)

That's not too bad. I have to remind Max to change his underwear. Daily. This is after I've made sure he's actually wearing underwear.
It still really throws me to picture you talking to a teenager...and it being YOUR KID!
