It's almost time to leave for school. I look at Twitch and say
"Do you have a comb or a brush?"
"No. Do I need to brush my teeth?"
"Have you brushed your teeth?"
"Yes."
"Do you have a hair brush?"
"NO!"
"Well, go into my bathroom and use my brush."
"Why?"
"You need to brush your hair."
"Why?"
"Because it looks disheveled."
"I like it this way."
"Just go brush your hair."
"Who's going to care what my hair looks like?"
"I do."
"So?"
"So, I'm the one who's taking you to school."
[Look of dismay and a gutteral "humph"]
[Goes down the hall]
[I eat my toast and sip my coffee]
[Returning, says with a sarcastic flair]
"Is this better?"
"Yes. Thank you."
"I look like a damn dingleberry."

Well! You learn something new every day!
Oh how cute...I hated bruching my hair when I was young.
You SO should not have made it so easy to look up the meaning of dingleberry.
But that sounds so much like Twitch. Tell him my Drawing teacher has hair just like his except redder. And better groomed.
Guess that definition hasn't changed over the years.
I wonder what you'd think of my mop as I leave for work in the morning. ; )
Every gentleman should leave for school well groomed. So saith Uncle Z!
My son showers every morning, washing his hair. Then he refuses to brush it, preferring the homeless look. Nothing I say matters; and he will suffer whatever consequences there are. Hey, he's got a girlfriend. What can I say?
How did you stifle a grin after that last retort? You may have added as an after thought, "Did you wipe after you went to the bathroom?" On second thought, he did finally go brush his hair, no sense in trying to score points.;-)

Hee hee... that's really funny! :)
I seriously doubt he could look quite like a dingleberry. But thanks for bringing back a word Ii had not heard in 30 years!
