Parenting an 11 year old





"Can I have contacts?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"They are expensive."
"What If I give up my monthly allowance for 6 months?"
"No you still are not getting contacts."
"Why not?"
"They are difficult to take care off."
"I can take care of the contacts. Every girl in my class has them and they are probably half as careful as I am."
"You are not getting the contacts, even if every blind person in the city has them."
"Blind people don't wear contacts."
"Exactly."
"So can I have contacts for my next birthday?"
"No way, not till you are eighteen."
"Is there any way I can convince you to buy me contacts?"
"No, I can’t think of any."
"Ok, I’ll talk to mom."
"Hold on, maybe we ought to discuss it a little bit more."

Kids will be kids!
