Papa, why do you need to take a shower in the morning?

A very innocent question asked by Avi. Atul was in his room writing out their lunch checks right before he jumped in the shower. Avi walked up to him and asked him the above question. Hmmm...because I want to be clean and also it wakes me up. Hmmm...why can't you get someone to scream in your face and wake you up, like you do to us?
This was said in such a monotone and serious manner that Atul couldn't help but burst out laughing. How else would you respond?
