to do things right/correctly/the way they are supposed to be done/ when they they are supposed to be done the first time around, so as to avoid either having to

son (crying, with a piece of ungraded homework in his hands) Dad, why the hell is this composition of mine on The Great War not even graded? And why did the teacher just shove it back in my face with out even bothering to look at it.
Father: listen, Carl. If I'd be your teacher, i would have reacted the exact same way. Just look at your penmanship. Ca laisse a desirer. I can't even , lol, call it handwriting, it would probably,

turkey-chicken scrawl. Now the moral of the fable is of course to pay your bills on time. Now, take this travail
bacle afaap out of my line of site and rewrite your homework.
