just have to love them

Discussing failing math grade (think 40’s)

Me: Avery you are very smart. Your math teacher said you are one of the smartest in her class.

Avery: Yeah, I know. I could do better but I’m too lazy. I mean, I could probably have an A in most of my classes if I tried.

Me: That is a problem.

Avery: I have been like this for a long time.

Me: Yes I know. But you also know that making this decision just makes things more difficult for you later on, right?

Avery: I know but that’s just how lazy I am. I know that but I still choose to be lazy.
