Newsflash: I'm not God

Me: "Try to make good choices in class today. We need a good report this week so you won't lose more privileges."
E: "I don't want to lose more privileges, Mom!"
Me: "I don't want you to, either."
E: "Then don't take them away."
Me: "If you don't behave, I have to, sweets. It's my job as a mom to help you learn."
E: "You don't have to. You're not God. You have a choice."
