My kids always hear about when I was little, and my brothers and I would have “squirty fights” from the flower pods at the end of our street.
So when we were close to my old house, they begged to go see the squirties.
For fear of traffic, I said no at first, but then relented.

And it all worked out in the end.  When I got this note from Scout:
“Mom, please don’t worry about putting the kids to bed.  I will put the to bed.  Love, Scout.  And shower them.”
So I let him honor his note, and it was a beautiful evening to me!
