Conversation with a Teenager

Setting: Gorgeous sunny day - about 81 degrees.

Me: (to teenage son): What would you like to do today?
Him: Play x-box, eat, sleep.

Brief pause

Him: Why? Were you planning to do something?
Me: It's such a nice day!
Him (whining): I don't want to!

Longer pause, while I am on internet

Me: I need to get you a job.
Him: I'm perfectly happy without one.
Me: Yes, that's the problem.
Him: You don't want me to be happy??
