A new scam?

The kids have always had a thing for playing in the front yard. It must be a combination of it being “out of bounds” because we prefer to be out front with them and that they love interacting with the world/people who pass by.

There have been many times that we have said no to them asking.

The other day there was a new approach to asking that I thought was quite ingenious.

Luke: “dad, can I go out front to be in the beautiful sunshine?”

Dad: “uh, um, of course”

Sixty seconds later

Lily: “Dad, can i go out front and be in the beautiful sunshine?”

Dad: “yes”

Beyond being charmed, the event solidified a belief that Luke and Lily contrive, practice there methods of getting what they want.
