If you're an eight-year-old boy and your younger sibling screams, you ...
a) stop what you're doing to see if that person is okay.
b) quickly call for a parent to help make sure that person isn't hurt.
c) keep doing what you're doing because you KNOW that you are right! (Even though YOU are the one making them scream.)
When a parent tells you that you have five minutes left to play before picking-up/leaving/going to bed, you ...
a) say, "Thank you. I'll make sure to pick up."
b) acknowledge the remark with a nod and make sure to listen for the final call after the five minute period.
c) yell, "No! Ten minutes!" and start whining and crying.
If you are eight, when you're parent tells you, "No, you can't do [that], I need you to do [this].", you ...
a) remember that you lost a week's worth of television privileges for your response to the above scenario.
b) calmly discuss the options before eventually quietly acquiescing to your parent's request.
c) yell and scream "No." over and over until you have lost more privileges.
(Hint: 'c' is the correct answer ... for everything.)
