Mother: Eleanor, dear, do not steal from our neighbors, they don't like that.
Eleanor: Why? Why should I care about that? They weren't using that stuff anyway. Not that I'm admitting to that. Because I'm not.
...
Mother: Please don't sneak into our neighbor's home when they're gone. Even if you don't take anything, and even if the back door is unlocked. It's not nice.
Eleanor: Why mom? I just want to have fun. Why is everybody always picking on me?
...
Mother: Please don't throw bubble-gum on the sidewalk dear.
Eleanor: I was done with it. Why do you keep pestering me. (pouts)
Mother: Because dear, people walking by may not see it and step on it, getting on their shoes. It's very hard to get off, and kinda gross.
Eleanor: So? Why should I care about that? Why should I care about any of the things you mention?
Mother: sighs Somebody I hope you'll understand dear. I really do.
