Rug Town

I learned a valuable lesson as a parent the other day, I'd like to share it. Children do not get subtlety. Here is my experience:
After a shower, the boy always leaves his wet towel on his bedroom floor. I mentioned to him that the two towels on the floor looked like rugs. He continued reading with no response. I began singing:
Cone on down
To Rug Town
They come in blue
They come in brown
Don't you frown
Don't get down
Just come on down
To Rug Town

Still, no response. I finally wadded up the towel and threw it at his head. "OK, I'll hang it up, jeez!" Yes, parents, subtlety does not work. Save time and go for the towel to the head right away.
