the Pros:
* well, they know i should be learning some morality at church
* cheerful person = not headed on a downward spiral
* i help around the house and try to be a people-pleaser

the Cons:
* i'm lazy like a cat, but i don't sleep 24-7
* when i do things i like (video-games, etc) - it's bad
* i tend to pave a path of my own to follow

in case i die before them, maybe i'll let my brother do the eulogy...
