At 9:30 last night, after a long day and a longer week, Jake asked me to get him a new Pokemon game for his DS. Right then.

After I said no, with a mix of disbelief, anger and exhaustion, I told him we could possibly get a Pokemon game on Friday.

"First thing, OK? Before school."

"Jake, the store won't be open before school."

"Blast it! Why do they start school so early and why do they make all the kids go?"
