Last night, Devin asked me to buy him some bottle rockets. Here is how the conversation went.
Devin: "Mom, will you get me some bottle rockets?"
Me: "You still need to get your 'learners permit'. Im not buying any bottle rockets until you get your permit."
Devin: "I will go tomorrow to get my permit."
Me: "We will go to the firework stand afterwords."
So today, we sat at the Department of Motor Vehicles for over two hours, he took the test, passed, and got his permit. As we were leaving the DMV, our conversation went like this...
Me: "You did it. Don't you feel good about yourself? You got that out of the way."
Devin: "Can we go get the bottle rockets now?" Wow...Really?!
Although Devin only did it for the bottle rockets, we went to dinner to celebrate anyway. Darlene joined us at Olive Garden and then she bought Devin a few more fireworks to go with the bottle rockets that we had purchased.
