A couple of weeks ago my son wanted to go to the toy store but I said no.
He stared up at me in a charming fashion, and said I’ll make a deal with you. If you take me to the toy store I promise that I will be nice about our move to England. Forever.
I was astonished but thought to clarify: Do you mean that you will be happy and excited about the move?
He said Yes.
I quickly replied Okay! It’s a deal!
Later as we drove toward a bribe that would surely cost less than ten dollars we talked more and it came out that he wasn’t offering to lie. He was in fact offering to reveal his true feelings about the move.
Yesterday he said I can’t stand the suspense. I wish we could move tomorrow!
