Sometimes…our kids don't look to the future.
For example, they might be, oh, gee, I don't know….stealing cookies at odd moments of the day.
Kids don't quite understand the consequences for snarfing junk food…but the results soon become obvious.

Today, remind your children that the gods gave them feet for a reason.
And no, it's not just to prop them up against their desk.
