A few months ago, for family home evening, we did our family rights. The kids helped out with suggestions and ideas, but seemed more interested in just getting it done with. And to be honest, we really haven't talked too much about it since. Well, a couple days ago, I had all the kids with me at the grocery store (only running in for a few things, right?). Westin kept after me about getting him this certain kind of yogurt.
"No Westin, you will not like it. Trust me."
"Please, please, please. I will like it."
After going back and forth several times like this, he says, "Remember our family rights? I have the right to try new things!" Enough said. He was right. I was wrong. I purchased the yogurt.
The next morning we all stood around him, starring...waiting...as he opened his yogurt and took the first bite. Not bad. The first bite went down and he ate a second bite. But, by the third bite he had decided he indeed did not like it and vowed to never ask for it again. I'm very proud of him for giving it a try. I wonder what else they remember about our family rights?
