4-panel comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: A parent in brown shirt and dark pants holds blue jeans while speaking to a small child in a yellow shirt and underwear, saying "I don't want to put on pants." A baby and wooden chair are visible in the background. Panel 2: The parent responds "Well, you have to" while the child asks "Why?" Panel 3: The parent explains "Because I say so. When you grow up, you can do whatever you want." Panel 4: The scene shifts to show the same child, now grown up in business attire, sitting at an office desk with a computer, papers, and office supplies, illustrating the irony of adult responsibilities versus childhood promises of freedom.
