To the movies
I offered without hesitation to take our 12-year-old to the movies yesterday. That may seem like no big deal, but he's been really pushing boundaries and assuming we are his personal valet service for the past few months.
Of course, first we had to practice how he ASKS permission and then for a ride...he first introduced yesterday's events by saying, "I'm going to the movies. I need a ride." So we backed things up a bit and reminded him how to ask for the things he wants...maybe that was gift as well? I'm sure he wouldn't see it that way.
