Persuasion

Last month, the second graders in JT's class wrote a persuasive letter to their parents. Grateful that JT wasn't seeking to persuade me to buy him a motorcycle or a pet snake, I quickly agreed to his request: a family night of games and/or movies.

Obviously, I agreed because it would give me yet another opportunity to play Set.

We agreed to designate Friday night as our family night. So last night was our inaugural family night, featuring grilled cheese sandwiches and an Indiana Jones movie. And as you can see, JT and the cats were very satisfied with the arrangement.

And I'm just glad that we don't have a pet iguana in our future.
