Today, my 8 year old son asked me why he had to make his bed everyday if he would just use it again. I replied with, "You flush the toilet even though you're going to use it again, right?" He said, "Good point." Now he's not making his bed or flushing the toilet. FML

Next time go with, "You eat even though you'll have to eat again, right?" That's how my mom handled that question. I still didn't make my bed, but at least I didn't starve myself.

A for effort. It was a noble effort, OP.

You can't convince someone to make their bed using logic, because it's an illogical activity.

Flush and make the bed or no dessert for a week

Lel get shit on there's no point in making your bed

Could've been worse. At least he didn't decide it'd be easiest to shit in the bed and not make it.

and thats why you think before you speak

You can always tell him "then why do you eat if you're going to be hungry anyways" and I bet he's not gonna stop eating
